Just wanted to take the time to wish Barbara the happiest of birthdays! Hope you have a great day!

From Silky: Breaking News…Joshua has given me the schedule for the first three Necroscope(R) audio books. 1. August. 2. October. 3. December. This is how it stands right now. I am totally excited about this! Hope you all are too.

Figured I would add some select pics of unique pieces in my collection

I’m still here Silky! 😊

I think I have all the bugs worked out now and things are running well. If anything seems out of sorts, please let me know!

Available now in one volume, two classic Necroscope® novellas from Brian Lumley. The Novellas - Trade Paper Audio Kindle The Plague-Bearer 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... The Möbius Murders Harry Keogh, aka the Necroscope, has always considered himself a master of the Möbius Continuum—a dimension existing parallel to all space and time and his personal instantaneous gateway to anywhere in the multiverse. But this is hardly overweening conceit on Harry's part, for to his knowledge he is not unique; two other intelligences, with powers similar to his, do indeed exist. One such is the long-dead August Ferdinand Möbius himself, the German astronomer, mathematician, and discoverer of the eponymous Möbius Strip which led him to explore, posthumously, his previously conjectural Continuum; and the other is Harry s son, who has not only inherited his father's mathematical skill but also the metaphysical talent by means of which the Necroscope converses with dead people in their graves! Picture Harry's confusion, then, on returning home via the Möbius Continuum from an adventure in Las Vegas, as he witnesses however briefly a flailing figure hurtling conscious but uncontrolled through the endless midnight of the Continuum. Who could this be—how can it be?—that a helpless, silently protesting other is rushing meteor-like across the Continuum's Stygian vault? Moreover, if he hasn't arrived here voluntarily, then what vile murderer has sent his victim on this monstrous journey to the end of life itself? For Harry is sure that this is neither his son s nor Professor Möbius' doing. Who and where is he, this Möbius murderer? It is a mystery that only the Necroscope can ever hope to solve—but at what risk to his own life?

Hey all, just wanted to drop a note that the Bibliography page has been updated. https://www.brianlumley.com/books/bibliography.html Silky recently went through and gathered all the info and I have updated that info. This is the most current and complete listing of Brian's publications (first publication only - these have obviously been published in more that just these listings, as well as multiple languages - this is English only). Hope this helps anyone who is looking for specific items. The list is broken down between Novels, Stories, and Poetry. Enjoy!

I've thought long and hard about what to write in memory of Brian - wanting to make sure it was perfect. Alas - I would be waiting forever because there is no way that I could sum up what knowing Brian meant to me and how it changed my life. So, I will do my best with what I can. I warn you all - this is going to be a long read. Senior year, 1992. I was at the local mall, killing time at the B Dalton bookstore when I stumble across a TOR book with a title that I didn't understand - Necroscope. What the hell is a Necroscope? I had no clue, but once I saw the badass skull that was on the front cover and reading the back cover, I figured I would give it a go. It took me about a month to get through it (I was in school and studying for exams, I mean - who reads for pleasure when you're 17), and once I finished it, I couldn't wait to get more. I tore through the first 5 books in the series - specifically remembering it only took me two days to get through The Source - and I just wanted more. Luckily for me, Blood Brothers was being released that year - but only in hardback at first and I was just a 17-year-old recent graduate - I couldn't afford a hardcover book. Local library to the rescue! I checked it out and returned it in a week. I couldn't believe I had found an author who made me want to read for pure enjoyment and not for an assignment for a class! But the waiting game had begun and even though I was getting into Necroscope at the right time, when a new novel was coming out almost every year - it was still a year I had to wait to see what happened next. That time that was flying (not fast enough for me) between Necro novels allowed me to see what else was available from this British Horror/Fantasy Author. Psychomech was up next as all three books in the trilogy were available at once. Bought, devoured, and wanting more. I still wish Brian would have written more in the Psychomech series and I had the pleasure to tell him that down the road (sadly, I was disappointed with his answer - no more Garrison - ah well). Then House of Doors, Demogorgon, The Dreamlands - whatever was available while I waited for that all important new Necroscope to be released each year - I accepted graciously and my love for everything that Brian Lumley wrote grew. I couldn't get enough. Let's remember the year this started for me - 1992. No internet. No world wide web to get information whenever you wanted. No email addresses to quickly send a note and get a response. No, this was, go to every bookstore and library that I could to try and find whatever tome I hadn't gotten yet by Brian Lumley. Usually leaving said places with disappointment because I had everything that was out there. Not the first editions or signed copies (I didn't even know the value of such things at that time) but I had the books and just wanted more! As they say, time flies, and before you know it, I had access to the WWW in 1996. Even installed a second phone line so I could be online and receive important phone calls if needed. I look back at that notion and realize how quickly time does fly - I don't even have a home phone line as I type this. My girlfriend at the time, Heather (who became the first Mrs. Wolfe) asked if I was going to put anything up on my personal webspace that the local ISP gave me with my monthly contract. I had 5MB of space to use to share whatever I wanted with the world! I couldn't think of anything better than a fan page dedicated to Brian Lumley and his works. So, I went to work - scanning every book cover and adding pages for every series. While I was creating my own homage to Brian I kept a lookout on the web for any information related to Brian so I could be the first to have it - and sure enough, there were two other sites on the web dedicated to Brian, The Starside Cyberstack ran by Kevin Corley and another tribute site ran by Christian Viklund (it may have been titled Necroscopy? I can't remember all these years later). I found Silky's email on the Cyberstack and sent off a note asking if there were any hardcovers I could purchase with an inscription from Brian. I also told her I was running a small site and would love to post any news that she had related to Brian's writings. She put me on the list - and the rest - well, it' beautiful history. I received the UK hardcover of Deadspeak in the post shortly thereafter and it still holds a special place on my bookshelf. And lo and behold, the news snippets and info started flowing from Silky about appearances, new books, you name it - and I graciously put them on the site for everyone to see. One of those appearances was upcoming in the States in Phoenix, AZ – I had to make it there. The 1998 World Horror Con. May 7th-10th. The flight was booked, the hotel reserved – and my nerves were about to burst as I was going to meet the guy that made reading enjoyable for me. I was also pitching Brian the idea of taking the fan site to the official site – brianlumley.com. This was going to be a big trip. The time had come and I was in Phoenix, waiting to meet the Master. I’m going to insert my column from Necroscope News Vol. 1 Issue 4 because I can’t say it any better than what I said back then: “Outgoing HWA President, Brian Lumley, will be the Guest of Honor at the 1998 World Horror Convention set for Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10 at the Embassy Suites North in Phoenix, AZ. That was the tag line you saw posted on this newsletter, the site, the WHC site, and anywhere else you ran across news from the WHC. Was that enough to motivate you to get up and go to Phoenix? If it wasn't, well then, that's your loss, because you missed one heck of a ride. Being my first convention of any kind, I wasn't sure what to expect. Also being my first time to meet Brian Lumley in person, I had a few of the fan based butterflies that go along with meeting your favorite author. I'm sure most of you out there know what I'm talking about. It ended up running smoothly - the plane trip out was the worst part of the trip, basking in the Phoenix sun pool side was a close second behind meeting "The Man," which was easily the best part. I'm also glad to say I didn't refund my dinner from nerves about meeting Brian and his lovely wife, Silky. The convention is a great place to meet the faces that go along with the names you see all over the world of horror. In comic books, artwork, authors, publishers, editors, fans - you name it, there's a good chance you'll see it at the convention. From the mild-mannered business suit type who strolls through looking for a "tome" to peruse, clear through the social spectrum to the make-up induced gunshot victims in black from head to toe dripping with realistic blood. What a thing to do to just sit back and watch the crowds. You can't leave out the gatherings, parties if you wish, that both individuals and publishers threw. Nothing brings people together like the aroma of happiness, usually in a bottle form. I have to say I agree with Brian about the organization of the Con, with too many things going on all at the same time, but, what do you do. It's designed to keep you involved and busy, sometimes just too busy. But when in doubt, a leisurely stroll down to the pool for a quick dip relieved any tension you might have. And if that didn't work, order a drink from the pool side bar, that'll be sure to take care of the stress. All in all, Sunday afternoon came too quick. I hated to leave the new friends I made, Robb Coutinho and his "newly adorned with a diamond" companion Carrie, (thanks again for the scenic route to the airport you guys), Keith Grant-Evans and his wife, Jane, (good 'ol "Dave the Web" appreciated his CD, believe me) and most of all, my gracious hosts, Brian and Silky Lumley. For Brian and Silky, if you ever get to meet them in person, one line seems to come to mind to describe this couple. As Jackie Gleason once said, "You're the greatest!" If you don't walk away feeling that about them, you better check the autographs you had the individual you met sign in your books. It couldn't have been Brian Lumley.” At that convention, Brian gave me the go ahead on the website, and on July 1st, 1998, we launched www.brianlumley.com and never looked back. And boy, has time flown since then. It’s hard to believe that 26 years went by without it seeming like a day. Anytime I had an idea for the site, or for merchandise, or any crazy thought this young fan had, he was supportive and constructive in his advice. 65 official Newsletters, Special Features, DVDs from convention readings, T-Shirts – Brian supported it. He was always gracious in every contact he had and that I had with him. Hanging out in Vegas, getting him hooked on slot machines when roulette was his real game of choice (Haywire Deluxe – I will never forget showing him that machine and then he hits the jackpot – not me! Lol) Bally’s Big Buffet, the countless book signings, the KeoghCons – the times are just hard to capture over almost 3 decades. To try and sum this all up – I didn’t get to see Brian and Silky as much as I would’ve liked to over the last 10 years. Life has a way of getting IN the way sometimes and keeping you from what you really want to do. But, we all have families and bills and the like, and well – tempus fugit – and before you know it you’re another year older and you wonder where the hell it all went. However, the time I did get to spend with them, and Brian specifically, will never be forgotten. He was not just a man, not just an author, not just a GrandMaster of Horror, not just a husband, not just a father – he was my friend. He was the guy that showed me you could read for pleasure and not for an assignment. He was the guy that taught me the ‘secret’ to roulette. He was the guy that gave a young kid, a mere fan – a shot at running his official mouthpiece for the world to see. I will always be honored to have done what I have for Brian in helping bring his works to the world because I think everyone should enjoy them as much as I do. From 1992-2024, the 32 years that Brian has been a part of my life – time really has flown. If I had the power to go back and slow it down or even reverse it, I would. Just to get one more story over a double brandy and diet coke – he would make it worth it. Brian – you were one of the best – thank you for letting me be part of your life and bringing me along for the ride. God speed and don’t stop writing those masterpieces, because now nothing can slow you down or get in your way. Your fan always, your friend most importantly, Dave McDougle aka ShadoeWolfe aka Dave the Web
