Heh! I did see that on the board while shifting through old threads. I love that mostly because it's SO true.

I'm certainly going to try to participate as much as possible! And hopefully next pay check be able to pay for full board access because I'd love to be more active than just the Necroscope folder because as of right now I don't know much about his other works and don't see any time in the near future to read anything beyond the pile of books already stacked up begging for a first read and those ones on the shelves pleading for a reread (be it a first reread or the tenth!). So many books, so little time!

I'm a read them as they were published sort of girl. Though I have gone through and just read the Vampire World Trilogy by its lonesome. As well as the E-Branch trilogy. I'd just prefer to go from start to finish.

The three talents I would want for a Wamphyri are as follows: 1) Flesh crafting (just think of all the awesome creatures you can create!) 2) Necromancy (mmm, even the dead's secrets are not safe from them!) 3) Mentalism (what better way to keep your thralls in line by dipping into their thoughts. Oh and the threat could be so real because if they are plotting against you the idea of being tortured after the truth death .. mmm so fun!)

Out of all thirteen what was my favorite? I have to go with Blood Brothers because it was the start of my love with Nathan and went back to Starside/Sunside which I absolutely love. Though now I'm having second thoughts as The Source is hitting me over the head. Hmm ...

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.

Let's see, my favorite Necroscope/Vampire World/E-Branch characters. I loved Darcy Clark, Ben Trask and of course Harry but who doesn't love Harry? Favorite Wamphyri of all was Canker though. I just loved his 'crazy like a fox' madness. I also grew quite attached to Nathan by the end of the Vampire World trilogy. Still not sure if I like Jake Cutter or not. I think I'm due for a reread of the E-Branch Trilogy. Maybe after NaNoWriMo I'll have time for it. =)

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. =) I was looking over the topics on the Necroscope board and noticed there wasn't a lot of active threads except maybe the trivia thread. Maybe I should just go through and throw my 2 cents in about the various things there in order to get my feet wet. And as to your question Kenny, I'm currently rereading George R R Martin's A Game of Thrones so yeah, I hvave read some good books lately

Hi everyone, I'm new to the boards but certainly not new to Brian Lumley's Necroscope series. The first book I bought was Necroscope 3: The Source back in 1989 while still in high school. The cover just screamed out to me that I needed to pick it up and take it home. Once I got through it I was wowed. After all it was the first really good 'new' take on vampires that I found to be interesting and fun to read. Needless to say that after that I was determined to read every book he wrote about Harry and over the years I have done so. I have to say my favorite are the three books revolving around Nathan and Nestor mostly because I love Starside/Sunside so much. I'm looking at my poor worn copies of the first five books (all paper back of course) and thinking maybe its time to start replacing them now that they are being reprinted. Oh well, think I will go back to exploring the message board and hopefully soon start getting into discussions about the different books. ~Leah
