Subterranean Press is proud to announce a brand-new, 50,000 word Necroscope novella by Brian Lumley, illustrated throughout by Bob Eggleton. This volume is being designed to match our deluxe edition of the original novel.
Harry Keogh is moving on. Though the search for his missing wife and child continues, his heart now lies in Edinburgh with Bonnie Jean—a beautiful Scottish werewolf whose friendly pack and flourishing pub have given him a place he can almost call home.
But from the rocky heights of Sicily, the diabolical Francezci brothers plot the wolf-pack’s destruction; and down in the terrible Pit beneath Le Manse Madonie, an ancient evil schemes.
The vampires conspire. They reach a decision. They choose a vector. Mafia thug Mike Milazzo is no good to anyone, anytime, anywhere…which makes him perfect. Disposable.
The brothers infect him with a deadly poison—an engineered plague that even a werewolf could never survive—and they offer him a terrible bargain: successfully contaminate the wolf-pack, and receive the antidote. Fail, and die!
Mike has everything to lose. So does Harry Keogh. But the Necroscope lost everything once before, and he isn’t about to do it again…

Just ordered mine for Santa to bring me, although it will be a little late LOL.

Wonderful news. Must order both editions.

is this going to be on Amazon? is this a continuation or a remake of the lost years?

Amazon usually does a good job of carrying Sub Press' books - just won't be on there probably until closer to the publication date... I will have links on here for it through Amazon too when it is ready.

And it looks like more Lost Years story from what I can see...

Very nice......quick question,when pre-ordering is payment taken straight away or when books are sent......getting budget sorted for Christmas.:D

Can't remember off the top of my head but I think payment is straight away. (I checked my credit card statement but nothing showed yet since it was a friday afternoon when i ordered) Here is the link to Sub Press' info page and you can call or email them to make sure.

If you aren't worried about getting a limited edition, you should be safe waiting until it (trade edition) is released.

[Numasthrall]

Wil wait awhile for trade but can't for limited edition.going over there later to order it.....to hell with the consequences:eek:
Looks excellent in both versions,brilliant artwork as usual.
Thanks for the info.:)

[Dark Cyder]

It's obviously another story set within the Lost Years.


brilliant artwork as usual

Yes, I love the cover art too.
It looks like the first cover depicts Radu Lykan - not Dr Seuss' Grinch, which it first struck me as :D
The second cover looks like a painting of Angelo Francezci, the thing in the pit, with one of his sons - Anthony, I assume.

Roll on Spring 2010.

hmmmm. im not so sure about Radu. i mean yeah the picture looks like that could be fur, but i dont recall Radu missing an eye.....or did he lose one?

[Silver]

I believe it'll be a picture based on Radu, not necessarily exactly as he's described.

[McSneaky]

i just read the overview and i think its gonna be a good read, but at the same time kinda hard to picture right now. the lost years seemed pretty..... thorough? with what happened in harrys lost years , at least where harry and the wolf pack were concerned.
