BLOOD-QUEST INTO REALMS OF SHRIEKING NIGHTMARE!

Between Wamphyri! and The SOurce, earlier novels in Brian Lumley's internationally best-selling series of the millenia-long struggle of humanity against the most horrific plague of vampires ever spawned, the Necroscope harry Keogh searched for his lost wife and child for several years. Now the enthralling story of what the Necroscope believes happened during that time - and of what did happen - can be told.

It is a story that goes back to the earliest days of the vampire infestation of Sunside/Starside, a parallel world on the 'other' side of space time. Punished by Shaitan the Unborn for taking sides against him in the first bloodwars, several great Lords of the Wamphyri were banished through the 'Gate' on Starside - to Earth! Among these expelled Lords was the dog-Lord Radu Lykan, whose vampire leech was inherited from a wolf. So Radu is not only Wamphyri: he's also a werewolf. And it is he who, after centuries of suspended animation, is now on a collision course with none other than Harry Keogh...

BLOOD IS THICKER THAN TIME

As a young man, Harry Keogh discovered that he was a necroscope - that he could talk to the dead and converse with the great minds from centuries past. Harry Keogh wrote novels, composed symphonies, and patented inventions - all creations of the dead men and women who were his friends. He even learned how to transport himself instantly to any place in the world.

His most horrifying discovery was that vampires stalked the earth, seeking human blood and human victims, and that they were a thousand times more terrible than anyone had ever imagined.

Joining forces with a super secret organization of people with psychic powers, Harry Keogh made it his life's work to battle the undead vampires and the evil they spawned, no matter where that journey might take him or what penalties he might have to pay.

In the heat of the war against the vampires, Harry's wife and infant son disappeared. For eight years Harry searched for his family, scouring the Earth for even a trace of his loved ones.

The story of those years has never been told - until now.
