Harry Keogh is The Necroscope. He speaks to the dead and what they tell him is beyond his wildest nightmares, that vampires stalk the earth! So Harry has a mission, to find and destroy all vampires for the good of humanity.

Well that gives you an intro to the world of the Necroscope, he speaks to the dead and they love him for it, after all they have had no-one else to talk to since their death and Harry has allowed them to speak to one another.

This book is superb; I cannot convey its superbness. It is by the talented author Brian Lumely, and as with most of his books it concentrates very heavily upon the supernatural in our modern world, yet for the first time he ties modern political games into his tales. This makes for very interesting reading.

Now some of you may think that all this supernatural mumbo jumbo is not for you, but I though that when I received it a few days ago at Christmas when I received it as a gift. I began to have a quick scan of it and before I knew it I was halfway through and totally engrossed. The character development is superb you do hate the bad guy and love the hero.

Now I shall not say much about the plot because if I do I will spoil it for you, but it will suffice to say that a vampire rises and you see Harry kick some serious as… er… bottom. Now I shall say that I loved the book so much that I have just got back from buying the second of the series. And be warned that with the series having thirteen books the price of a wonderful story may be a bit steep.

So to sign of I will say, buy it, buy it know. Stop reading, get in a car and go to the nearest bookshop and BUY IT!
