Overview

While using his special powers as a Necroscope, Harry Keogh speaks with the dead and learns the truth about the evil vampires that have haunted humankind for centuries and sets out to do battle with them using the knowledge he has gained.

The Source, book three of the Necroscope series, finds Harry Keogh frantically searching for his missing wife and son. To further complicate matters, Harry discovers the war against the vampires is far from over, for other creatures of the night are planning the destruction of mankind.

Synopsis

The third book in the Necroscope series traces the battle between Harry Keogh and the horrifying Vamphyri on their home ground, an alien landscape of looming towers, impossible cliffs, and ravenous vampire-beasts.

Russia's Ural Mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural portal to the country of the vampires. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies, in a secret military base, study the portal—and the powerfully evil creatures that emerge from it, intent on ravaging mankind.

When Jazz Simmons, a British agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB espionage squad and forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh, the 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 vampire's 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 become half-dead servants of the Vamphyri?

Editorials

From the Publisher

"One of the best writers in the field." —John Farris

"Lumley's strength is in his jovial voice, a diction that dominates the narrative. Lumley's love of his pulp-horror subjects is gleefully apparent. He revels in every telling detail, in stories-within-stories...." —San Francisco Chronicle

"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, drawing just enough blood to titillate without offending his readers." —The Phoenix Gazette
