Welcome to the World of the
All new adventures
of the Necroscope....
Harry Keogh:
Necroscope and Other Heroes
Vampires, Elder
Gods, Nightmares, Mysterious elixirs. Wines capable of transporting
the drinker - literally - to another world. Fossils that dream
of rending flesh between their teeth. These wonders, and many more,
spring from the fertile imagination of Brian Lumley.
Harry Keogh:
Necroscope and Other Weird Heroes! collects eight long tales of four
of Lumley's most popular creations: Titus Crow; David Hero and his
companion, Eldin the Wanderer; and the original Necroscope himself,
Harry Keogh, who is featured in three comletely new stories, one of
them a short novel. The other stories in this collection have previously
only been published in the UNited Kingdom.
Titus Crow:
Psychic detective, master magician, destroyer of the ancient Cthulhiangods.
In "Inception," we see the infant Titus at the moment his destiny falls
upon him. In "Lord of the Worms," a simple seceretarial job lands Crow
on a sacrificial alter. And in "Name and Number," Henri Laurent de
Marigny details a battle between Titus Crow and malevolent, occult
winds that can rip living flesh from bone.
David Hero
and Eldin the Wanderer: once men of the waking world, now agents for
King Kuranes of the Dreamlands. Sips of "The Weird Wines of Nxas Niss"
send the pair on a tumultuous journey from a buxom beauty's bed to
the depths of a wizard's dungeon. Then seeking his missing friend,
David Hero boards an ill-fated airship that is home to "The Stealer
of Dreams."
Harry Keogh,
Necroscope: vampire killer without peer, capable of conversing with
the dead. A sudden windfall brings Harry to Las Vegas, where he meets
"Dead Eddy," a gambler whocan't resist the tempatation of one last
big win - from beyond the grave! In "Dinosaur Dream," Harry's interest
in fossils leads him to uncover the truth behind the death of a young
amateur paleontologist...and to discover that it's not just dead people he
can call on in a crisis. Harry's undying love for his mother leds him
down a dangerous path in "Resurrection."
Four of Lumley's
greatest heroes. Three of his most popular worlds. Tales to chill and
to delight. Open the book and be swept away.
