December 12, 200421 yr comment_19174 Just bought a new computer. AND HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN TO READ THE NEWSLETTER!! Good gawd, what a pain an outdated computer can be... It was great to read about the Con... again. Well, not great, I guess, but good, and pics will make it even better when Shadoe gets 'em up... not quite like being there, true, but oh well. Those Cons do just get better and better, huh? So what's the speculation on the new Necroscope book? Who're the players? People we know? Anyone got any ideas?

December 18, 200421 yr Author comment_19175 WTF?!? Didn't Brian give any clues about this at KeoghCon? No one brave enough to ask? Or is it classified information? No speculation at all? Anyone even excited? Report
December 19, 200421 yr comment_19176 Brian did "TOUCH" upon it, a short reading, and to be honest i don't remember to much more then the gory parts, bodies inside out, stuff like that. I don't think there was much talk about it, the only thing i heard him mention was that it involves E-branch and aliens. and he did mention to me it could be about a year. I can't wait. Report
December 19, 200421 yr comment_19177 I'll get more excited about this as the year draws on... I don't get excited about anything way before - no point - for me atleast. As for the film, that I wont discuss either. Report
December 19, 200421 yr comment_19178 I'll be honest N8 I spent most of my time at the Con trying to get info out of Brian and although he did give me clues and bits and bobs, he mostly just smiled and told me to wait and see. He did say that the bad guys are from an alternate dimension who can make there own portals through to our world, and that they come equipped with all sorts of new and frightning psychic powers. Its based in the 19 years between Deadspawn and Blood Brothers, plus Harry does have a small cameo. As for anything else I havn't got a clue and I'll be frank and say that even some of the above maybe inaccurate. [ December 19, 2004, 07:07 AM: Message edited by: The Helm ] Report
December 19, 200421 yr Author comment_19179 Inaccurate or not, that's the stuff I was lookin' for! Thanks! Sounds pretty interesting... When I first got word of The Lost Years, and heard about the time frame and scenario, I couldn't figure out how he'd make it all fit. I was even a bit skeptical! Here I am with that same feeling again, if not to the same degree. It was great to be proven wrong so brilliantly then and I know deep down that he'll do it again for us this time! Damm tight-lipped geniuses... Report
December 19, 200421 yr comment_19180 Brian definitely use the word aliens when i heard him talk about it. Report
December 19, 200421 yr Author comment_19181 Shoot, with Brian there ain't no tellin' what an 'alien' might be! Hell, the Wamphyri could be called aliens! Whatever type of aliens they are, I'm sure they'll be brutal! I'm glad to hear they have portals and not your typical flying saucers! And what types of psychic powers you think are left?! Dude's already come up with more of 'em than I ever could've dreamt up! This is looking better and better! Report
December 21, 200421 yr comment_19182 They do turn someone inside out in the first chapter, and I'm positive that's a new one on me!!! Report
December 21, 200421 yr Author comment_19183 Eeewwwwwwwwwwwww... Idn't that what happens to ol' boy's dog in The Fly when he first tries his teleportation pods? Pretty dang cool power to have! Report
December 21, 200421 yr comment_19184 Yeah kind of like that but more like what happens to the pig type thingy in Galaxy Quest, you know a bit of shuddering and he's still kind of alive and then he sort of explodes :eek: all over the coppers (policemen) that have found him. Report
December 22, 200421 yr comment_19185 My recollections are much the same as everyone else... with the guy been turned inside out sticking in my mind... Report
January 1, 200521 yr comment_19186 ... Man. I wished I knew where you guys got your info. But on another note I wished there was a Con here in the states. Report
January 1, 200521 yr comment_19187 FrostD, We get our info from 2 places, and I'm willing to share them both. Firstly, most of us pay the subscribtion fee to the board, which gives us access to the newsletter, and ultimately the news news on anything Lumley - you might call it the inside scoop! The other "source", well, lots of us go to KeoghCon, which is a once a year event held in Torquay (UK), where we can get Brian drinks, and he'll throw us a few tidbits of info! More info on KeoghCon can be foudn here: http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=23 I hope this helps, Tops Report
January 1, 200521 yr comment_19188 Frostd Looks like Brian will be in maryland this year, it could be your chance to meet BL, have a drink, talk, get some books signed, get some info. Brian likes talking I will be there [ January 01, 2005, 09:20 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ] Report
January 8, 200521 yr comment_19189 Nothing like the two flicks... As I've had the entire novel read to me ... I know ... the things I have to suffer... This much I will tell you: Necroscope: The Touch 1. A female alien. 2. A Starside wolf. 3. A new ... you'll have to wait and see... [ January 08, 2005, 09:08 AM: Message edited by: Silky ] Report

January 13, 200521 yr comment_19191 ohhhh ditto here, juicy little morsel...... ooooo but another bad girl? are we allowed to speculate? the wolf? Report

May 25, 200521 yr comment_19193 Hi...This is my first post here... Anyway..I cant wait for the new novel, and I also cant wait to get my hands on Harry Keogh and Other Weird Heros. As far as The Touch goes, to me, with aliens from an alternate dimension who can create their own worm holes into our world, it sounds very much like the TV show Sliders, especially in the last few seasons where the Kromags became the major 'bad guys.' Still, any slant that Mr. Lumley can put on it, including vampires, Necroscopes, walking dead, psychic abilities, perhaps psychic wars etc will completely blow any similarities to anything else out of the water.

May 25, 200521 yr comment_19194 I think that alternate dimensions are already well enough established in the Necroscope Multiverse as to preclude comparisons at least until we've had chance to read it... Besides it is all speculation, the odd snippet does not a plot make! lol Nice to meet you, Jarrod, hope to see more of you on the board... ) Report
June 19, 200521 yr comment_19195 I thought there wouldn`t be more books than 13. Forgive my ignorance, but i have read only first 5 yet, and I loved it. But is any author capable of creating 13+ books in single series with maintaining high quality? Report
June 20, 200521 yr comment_19196 YES!!! Brian Lumley and you didn't even get to the best ones yet. actuality there is 14 now,although #14 consist of short stories about Harry among others. [ June 19, 2005, 06:50 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ] Report
June 20, 200521 yr comment_19197 You really say that later books are better than Deathspeak? It is good than Lumley does better job then Robert Jordan. Report
