5.0
I've slowly become a regular consumer of audio books over the years. I decided to give this a try on audio for my second read. I did not expect that James Langton would blow me away with the narration like I did.
For Red Rising Langton sticks to a single voice for Lysander but here he takes on a variety of unique personas that help differentiate between the wide cast of characters.
Necroscope is such a powerful series full of ideas of the sort that make reading enjoyable. A man who speaks with the dead and vampires of immense power come together masterfully. It has many layers beyond that I don't want to spoil.
This series is not for everyone because it is horror and also has many triggers. Check trigger warnings if you are sensitive.
Even though I read this book over 15 years ago, it all came back while reading including some of the plot of the sequels. I can still remember events from the sequels because they are presented so vividly (even though I do not visualize.)
