Summary: The beggining of a great series, but...
Review: The concept of Wamphyri is probably the idea of the decade. They are truly original and the cornerstone of an epic is set. The characters in the book have much depth and writing quality is high. The plot is also quite interesting. My two complaints: 1. Because it is meant to be the first book in a series, most of it has to do with how the Necroscope became what he is (including his elementary school years). It's more realistic this way, but I could do without. 2. Not all the books in the series are this good (see my other reviews)PS. Most of the secondary characters have been covered in depth in one or another of the books. Except for the Necroscope's uncle and aunt. They do not appear in any of the books and he never visits them. There isn't even a reference to how he feels about them. Curious, isn't it?

Summary: It was very well written and immaginative.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book and its sequals emmensely. Brian Lumley is fresh, innovative, and has a great way of puting things. After reading this one, I could help but read the others which followed this book. I recomend this series to anyone who loves suspense and horror.

Summary: Excellent series, but by no means origional
Review: In the last few years, I have read more or less the entire Necrosope series and I have found the books to be an excellent read. The depictions of the vampires and their characterization definately made the books stand out. If I have a complaint, it is that these books are very similar to his much earlier written Titus Crow series (A total of six novels) which deal with Lovecraftian monsters as opposed to vampires. In fact, I have noticed similarities between both series of books in regards to the main charachters, the organizations they belong too, and the people who belong to those organizations. Beyond those observations, I find the series to be quite good and if one is interested in Lovecraftian horror, his Titus Crow series may worth investing in.

Summary: This is a CLASSIC, Lumley's vampires rock!!!
Review: I have been reading this series of books since I was in sixth grade, and these books are masterpieces!!! I am not the biggest vampire fan around, I think they are old, overused and out of date. However, Lumley has found a way to make a story so gripping and so original, that NECROSCOPE is one of my favorite books of all time!! A war between the dead and vampires, MASTERWORK if you ask me!! This novel charicters are also original and they do the story justice! I am sure this book will become a classic read in the years to come. I also think it's a shame that authors like Anne Rice get well noted for their vampire novels, when they don't even come close to Lumley's vampires. Brian Lumley's work to me is just as good as William Peter Blatty's 'The Exorcist' of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot.' You will understand me once you have read it. NECROSCOPE is the ultimate in vampire horror. (P.S., the other novels in the series are pretty good too, but I would only recommend the first three in the series, and NECROSCOPE:THE LOST YEARS. So let Lumley give you a vampire story with definition, and read this book! I'm only 15 and I love it!

Summary: Goes beyond what we read about vampires.
Review: I thought that all of his books from Necroscope on through the 5th book was fine writing and kept my attention! This method of writing shows yet another concept of how vampires live.

Summary: Lumley's Wamphyri are the epitomy of sheer evil & terror
Review: The Necroscope series is the most amazing vampire
story I have ever read. Such evil as his Wamphyri
present is the mystical magical world of what true
Vampire fiction yearns to become. Say goodbye to
the lame Vampire genre that has become industry
standard, and enter into the Wamphyri world of
Sunside / Starside! Your life will never be the same!
