Necroscope IV : Deadspeak

`Since reading Lumley's Necroscope series, I know that vampires really do exist.' H.R. Giger

`Like the vampires it so full-bloodedly portrays, Brian Lumley's Necroscope series just gets stronger. His lively mix of action and monstrosity transmutes the base cliche of the vampire and turns it into a wonderfully contemporary bane.' Fear Magazine

`This fourth volume in the popular series pays particular homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula ... Lumley retains much of the florid melodrama that Stoker reveled in, with an increased explicitness suited to the present day. Still, the traditions are there: vampires can change form, are vulnerable to silver and garlic and must receive permission before entering either a dwelling or a mind. Lumley provides more rationale than Stoker [to] give the novel an Ian Fleming/Stephen King crossover feel ... a fast-moving tale of the primal horror of an undead parasite worthy of Stoker's original.'
