Harry Keogh is a necroscope - he knows the thoughts of corpses in
their graves. Unfortunately for Harry, his talent works both ways.
The outer limits of horror are unleashed when Harry Keogh is
recruited by the E-Branch (E for ESP) of the British Secret Service
to combat his own evil counterpart, the deadly Romanian Boris
Dragosani. Long buried in hallowed ground, bound by earth and
silver, the master vampire schemes and plots. Trapped in unlife,
neither dead nor living, Thibor Ferenczy hungers for freedom and
revenge. The vampire's human tool is Boris Dragosani, part of a
super-secret Soviet spy agency. Dragosani is an avid pupil, eager
to plumb the depthless evil of the vampire's mind. Ferenczy teaches
Dragosani the awful skills of the necromancer, gives him the
ability to rip secrets from the mind and bodies of the dead.
Dragosani works not for Ferenczy's freedom but is in the pay of an
ultra-secret Soviet paranormal agency over which he means to gain
power for himself with knowledge raped from the dead. His
speciality is tearing secrets from the souls of newly dead
traitors. His only opponent: Harry Koegh. Like Dragosani, Harry is
a necroscope who can speak with the dead. But Harry is a champion
of the dead - and the living. From the Romanian mausoleum where the
undead vampire tests the limits of his bonds, the stage is set for
the most horrifying, violent supernatural confrontation ever when
Harry Keogh is recruited by the British Secret Service to take on
Dragosani. To protect Harry, the dead will do anything - even rise
from their graves!
The Winter 1989/1990 issue of Weird Tales showcases Featured Author
Brian Lumley (who contributed 3 stories and an interview) and
Featured Artist Vincent di Fate (who contributed all the artwork).
Also includes Keith Taylor, Phyllis Ann Karr, and more.
Harry Keogh is back from the sheer hell of Starside, the vampire
sourceworld, but he has been robbed of his supernatural powers.
Stalked by vampires, he is in danger of becoming one himself,
undead for ever ... A multinational team of vampire hunters, who
rely on the latest technology, scour Europe in the hope they can
foil a master vampire's plans to move his nest and expand his troop
of thralls. The hunt takes Harry Keogh, formerly a necroscope, into
misty Transylvania, where he fights the resurrected Janos Ferenczy
in his ruined castle for possession of his lady love, Sandra. But
Harry is a mere man again, denied access to the metaphysical Mobius
Continuum and no longer able to communicate with the dead.
Crumbling in their graves, the teeming dead (the Great Majority)
fear for Harry. If the ex-necroscope can't destroy the last of the
Ferenczys, that nightmare vampire dynasty, the old threat will rise
all over again. E-Branch, Britains paranormal spy organization, and
Harry's countless dead friends across the world need Harry to
recapture his powers - and so does Sandra, who is in Ferenczy's
power.
This omnibus edition includes The Burrowers Beneath, The Transition
of Titus Crow and The Clock of Dreams. Titus Crow and Henri de
Marigny are the crusaders in the cause of universal sanity against
the evil, brooding forces of the Cthulhu Mythos and defy the demons
of unknown space.
Harry Keogh is a necroscope - he knows the thoughts of corpses in
their graves. Unfortunately for Harry, his talent works both ways.
A maniacal murderer is on the loose, and the dead spirits of the
madman's victims reach out to ask Harry Keogh to solve the crimes.
After the battles of Deadspeak, Harry Keogh has regained his
necroscopic abilities. He can once again travel instantaneouslyh
between places and times via the marvellous mathematics of the
Mobius Continuum. He can once again speak with the dead. But the
necroscope's bargain with Faethor Farenczy, father of vampires, has
sown the seed of Harry's own downfall - a vampire seed! Deep in the
recesses of Harry's mind grows a vampire that might someday be the
greatest vampire of all. But now Harry is shunned by everyone, the
living and the dead ... except for the tortured victims of a
maniacal serial killer who cry out for justice. Harry is the only
person who can identify and find this vile murderer. It's high tide
in a sea of blood but for Harry Keogh the tide has finally turned.
For even as he pursues the serial killer, he also fights the spawn
inside him. His greatest battle is with himself and the plague he
carries, for the necroscope is now a vampire.
Harry Keogh discovers that Soviet scientists have accidentally
opened a portal to our collective worst nightmares beside which the
lethal terror of Chernobyl is a mere bad dream. Now the horror from
the source of all Dark Legends is set to invade the world of the
living. The Ural mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural
portal. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies study the portal
from their secret military base - and the evil creatures emerging
from it intent on ravaging the living. When Jazz Simmons, a British
agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB and
forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh,
Necroscope, that the vampires are preparing for a mass invasion.
Harry has only one option: to strike first. He must carry the
human-vampire war to the vampires' own lands. But his strongest
psychic power will be useless there - what good is the power to
summon the dead in a country where nothing ever dies, where every
man, woman and child becomes a half-dead servant to the Vamphyri?

Only Harry Keogh, prisoner of the metaphysical Mobius Continuum,
can stop the vampire Yulian Bodescu. Harry Keogh is a necroscope -
he knows the thoughts of corpses in their graves. Unfortunately for
Harry, his talent works both ways. Death is not the end of life,
Harry Keogh discovered - and not the end of his battle against the
terrible evil of vampires. In a secluded English village, Yulian
Bodescu plots his takeover of the world. Imbued with a vampire's
powers before his birth, Bodescu rules men's minds and bodies with
supernatural ease. He is secretly creating an army of vampiric
monsters, things that once were men but were now walking masses of
destructive hunger! Harry Keogh, Necroscope, thought that the war
with the vampires had ended with the destruction of Boris Dragosani
- and of Harry's body! But the man who talks to the dead lives on,
more powerful than ever, able to transport himself instantly to any
spot on the globe and to speak mind-to-mind with both the living
and the dead. Are Harry's new powers enough to defeat Yulian
Bodescu and his legion of monsters-or will the vampire army overrun
the living earth?

"Wide-angle horror of a scope too rarely seen in modern fiction. A
feast for the horror fan."
--F. Paul Wilson
"Lumley still excels at depicting heroes larger than life and
horrors worse than death."
--"Publishers Weekly on "Necroscope: Avengers
"Lumley's original portrayal of paranormal powers, his dry wit, and
a long, thundering climax assure that this hefty book will
handsomely reward readers."
--"Booklist on "Necroscope: Defilers
"Lumley's pure narrative energy and just sheer joy carries the book
along. Lumley's imagination always works overtime and new concepts
are fired at the reader with amazing regularity."
--"Ashland News on "Necroscope: Resurgence
"Lumley is obviously very bright, articulate, and in possession of
an incredibly wild imagination."
--"Rapport
"Rivals Anne Rice's vampire saga....Lumley never oversteps the
delicate line between blood-chilling horror and cold gruel. An
accomplished wordsmith, Lumley wields a pen with the deft skill of
a surgeon."
--"The Phoenix Gazette on "Blood Brothers
"This complex, fast-paced, and challenging novel is a highly
successful blend of genres and should appeal to fans of horror,
fantasy, and espionage. Lumley deserves a wide audience among those
who love both Anne Rice and John Grisham--or maybe Stephen
King."
--"VOYA on "The Last Aerie
In addition to his stellar Necroscope series, Brian Lumley is
highly regarded for his short fiction, for which he has won the
British Fantasy Award. "Beneath the Moors and Darker Places," a
companion to" The Whisperer and Other Voices," collects nine of
Lumley's best long short works, many of them unavailable for
decades in any form.
The Cthulhu Mythos of the immortal H. P. Lovecraft provides
inspiration for much of Lumley's work, including "Dagon's Bell" and
"Big C," both included here. The explosive creation of a new
volcanic island off Iceland in 1967 led to "Rising with Surtsey,"
an homage not just to Lovecraft but to the great August Derleth.
"David's Worm"-which takes an interesting view of "you are what you
eat"-was published in a Year's Best Horror Stories and later
adapted for radio in Europe.
The collection also includes the macabre "The Second Wish,"
published here for the first time with the author's original,
intended ending, and "The Fairground Horror," first published in
The Disciples of Cthulhu twenty-five years ago and not seen since
save for a small press edition.
The title tale, Beneath the Moors, a complete short novel, has been
unavailable in the US since its first publication by Arkham House
in the early 1970s. It is considered to be one of Lumley's
strongest short works; Tor is proud to restore this and the other
pieces in this volume to Lumley's growing readership.
The Whisperer and Other Stories contains a complete short novel, The Return of the Deep Ones, as well as eight more weighty slices from the dark imagination of Brian Lumley. Here are several of Lumley's best H. P. Lovecraft-inspired tales, including "The Statement of Henry Worthy." Also included are "The Luststone" and "The Disapproval of Jeremy Cleave," proving that Lumley can make one laugh even while the hairs on the back of their neck are slowly coming to attention. . . .
Richard Garrison, a Corporal in the British Military Police, loses his sight while trying to save the wife and child of millionaire industrialist Thomas Schroeder from a terrorist bomb. While Garrison is recovering from his injuries, Schroeder makes him an offer the young man cannot refuse-refuge at Schroeder's luxurious mountain retreat and rehabilitation from the best doctors who can treat Garrison's blindness and if not cure him at least teach him a new way of life.
But Thomas Schroeder has a secret. He is dying and determined not to lose his life. The doctors tell him his body cannot be saved. But about his mind? Garrison's healthy young body would make an excellent replacement for Schroeder's failing corpus, if the machines to perform the operation can be perfected in time.
Garrison has no secrets of his own. Since the bombing that caused a loss of his sight, Garrison has become aware of new abilities slowly developing in his mind: mental powers he is beginning to master; strengths Schroeder cannot expect. Richard Garrison and Thomas Schroeder, two strong-willed men locked in battle for the greatest prize-life itself.
The Titus Crow novels are adventure horror, full of acts of nobility and heroism, featuring travel to exotic locations and alternate planes of existence as Titus Crow and his faithful companion and record-keeper fight the gathering forces of darkness wherever they arise. The menaces are the infamous and deadly Elder Gods of the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Chthulu and his dark minions are bent on ruling the earth--or destroying it. A few puny humans cannot possibly stand against these otherworldly evil gods, yet time after time, Titus Crow defeats the monsters and drives them back into the dark from whence they came. Volume One contains two full novels, The Burrowers Beneath and The Transition of Titus Crow.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." --H. P. LOVECRAFT, "Supernatural Horror in Literature"
Howard Phillips Lovecraft forever changed the face of horror, fantasy, and science fiction with a remarkable series of stories as influential as the works of Poe, Tolkien, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. His chilling mythology established a gateway between the known universe and an ancient dimension of otherworldly terror, whose unspeakable denizens and monstrous landscapes--dread Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, the Plateau of Leng, the Mountains of Madness--have earned him a permanent place in the history of the macabre.
In Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, a pantheon of horror and fantasy's finest authors pay tribute to the master of the macabre with a collection of original stories set in the fearsome Lovecraft tradition:
¸ The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: The slumbering monster-gods return to the world of mortals. ¸ Notebook Found in a Deserted House by Robert Bloch: A lone farmboy chronicles his last stand against a hungering backwoods evil. ¸ Cold Print by Ramsey Campbell: An avid reader of forbidden books finds a treasure trove of deadly volumes--available for a bloodcurdling price. ¸ The Freshman by Philip José Farmer: A student of the black arts receives an education in horror at notorious Miskatonic University.
