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.
