Necroscope by Brian Lumley
4.0
I was looking at the shelves I have marked this book with and I realized that I should probably add much more since this book was such a mixture of genres.
We have vampires but a totally uniques story with the simbiozis between the host and the parasitic vampire, we have dead rising at the end of the book - or better said zombies, we have scientific talk about time relativity and different dimensions, time travel etc. that open the door to scifi and there is probably something that I missed.
This was a very unusual read. At times it took me extra effort to keep on reading the book, especially where the stryline took me to Russia and to Dragosani...some parts were extra interesting but some that were Cold war talk were not so interesting to me. I guess that is because I have been small at that time, so I don't really appreciate the air that probably existed then.
On contrary, Harry's story gripped me from the start and I just wanted to know more of him. It was really interseting when his powers were finally explained at the end of the book and as well the newly gained talent he learned
I never expected the ending where
I plan to read the second book in the series and see where it takes us.

Dragosani keeps waking up in Thibor's vampiric body along with him and seening how he will again and again die by his own hand! That was really something...Dragosani was a really evil character and I'm not going to miss him lolI plan to read the second book in the series and see where it takes us.
