A review by furythephoenix
Necroscope by Brian Lumley

3.0

Read this for nostalgia from my teens, and for once I wasn't disappointed with the golden glow of things remembered perhaps more fondly than they ought to be. Conceptually, this still stands up as a hyper original and interesting take on the Vampire.

The writing itself is a bit cheesy at times, which I kinda expected since that's how I remembered it even back in 2003-2004, but I can't get past those little tics because I love the story and mythology Lumley creates. If memory serves, both the writing, story and mythology get better with each volume of the original quintology.
