Who have YOU hooked?

**The Bloody Lady** · May 7th, 2004, 02:01 PM

A few weeks ago I found out a friend of mine who i've known for a year had read the PSYCH trilogy of Brians and loved it. Not knowing there were other books out there, he left it at that. He came around to our house the other night and noticed a Brian Lumley book in our living room. He freaked and so I told him all about us lot, the conventions and gave him Necroscope to read.

I went to bed that night around 10, the boyz went around 2...and by the morning jep (the friend in question) had already read the first 6 chapters!!!

he is in LOVE with it and is determined to read them all in a very short space of time.

That makes mine a total of 3, my hubbie, claire (who came to keoghcon III) and jeppie now!

so who have YOU hooked and where are they up to?

I hooked my hubbie and my babysitter. I love hearing what they have to say about the different books.

Do I get to count everyone who has come to this site and found out about all of Brian's books they didn't know existed?

Heh heh... if so - I win for hooking the most! [img]grin.gif[/img]

I've only hooked my sister but have leant Necroscope to three other people who, two said they enjoyed it but as far as I know haven't bought any of their own or read any others and the other read it, said it was good but too scary for her taste!

I've hooked my sister-in law who in turn hooked her husband and a friend who in turn hooked.....

Can you give me the name of a book that I don't know about?

I haven't hooked anyone

, but my bf has hooked me [img]grin.gif[/img] . He knew i liked James Herbert and kept saying I should read Necroscope, which he ended up getting me for easter. It took me 10 days to read the Necroscope books, I couldn't put them down.
I went a bit slower with the Vampire World one's, I was missing Harry. I've just finished the The Lost Years, which I also got for my bf for his b-day, I started on the Invaders last night

I've managed to hook my mum (!) and I'm working on my girlfriend, she's the only other person I know who likes horror as much as I do, the problem is she don't like reading much so I got a bit of a challenge on my hands!

The only person I know for sure that I ever hooked to the series was my mom.

Right after I read The Source I shoved the book at her and said "You have got to read it!"

I'm pretty sure she lost track of it over the years but I know she enjoyed the first five as much as I did.

I'd given the first five books to my Dad, just before K4..he's just started reading necroscope so I'm awaiting the verdict!! and of course I got Paul hooked to the extent he's buying all the Lumley books in sight... damn !!! competition [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sandra,a friend of mine asked if i had read any good book recently. Well where do i start(at the begining i suppose) I gave her Necroscope, she read it within a week and was eager for more. She read the complete 13 books within 6 months. She is currently struggling with the first in the Phycomech trilogy. I thought it was a good read but to date i haven't read anything to match the Necro books.

Getting a few copies of Necroscope to give out as Chrimbo gifts again this year .... hoping to get another four victims!!!!

**Deanmented** · November 15th, 2004, 04:15 PM

Well I hooked myself does that count lol

**John & Paul** · November 15th, 2004, 04:18 PM

I gave my father the first 5 books and he has read them all, asking for the next three in the series.

**ruderabbit** · December 6th, 2004, 05:22 AM

Yea....my first post!!!

I was wanting my first post to be a Happy Birthday wish to Brian(I guess it is afterall).

While I am new to the message board, I have been reading Brian's books for a few years. In the last three years I can count at least 12 new thralls created. Whenever the wife or I spot a used copy of Necroscope we buy it and give it away to friends or family.

**Goth Girl** · December 6th, 2004, 07:00 AM

I do that with some of the rarer books... although I have them all myself, I can always find someone to pass them onto!

I haven't exactly hooked this particular friend, but I have encouraged him... he had Necroscope, and I got him Vamphyri and The Source for his birthday recently. His Xmas wish list now looks like the contents of my book shelf... all Lumley! I picked up the two Lost Years from the Fantasy Centre at the weekend for him, and once he's through the Necroscope books, I'll be starting him on the others! He lurks round the website too I believe.

**VincentAlexander** · December 6th, 2004, 11:40 AM

I picked up my first Necroscope book, hooked myself, and finished the series in 7 months. Unfortunately, I've failed at hooking anyone else because I could talk about only Necroscope for those 7 months and if anyone around me heard Necroscope or Brian Lumley one more time, they were going to throw themselves out of a window.

**John & Paul** · December 7th, 2004, 08:38 PM

I think I can thank Ruderabbit for hooking me onto the Tor Necroscope hardbacks as I've bought most of them off him [img]grin.gif[/img] and in fantastic condition... Thanks mate !!

**Lucky Eddie** · December 10th, 2004, 08:23 PM

I've well and truley hooked my mate at work - he's borrowed and read all the Necroscope and Vampire World series over the last month. He's now starting his own collection. All this from a guy who 'hasn't have the patience to read a novel'

- well that was before he met the work of Mr Lumley.
