Necroscope IV: Deadspeak

Brian Lumley’s Necroscope novels are one of the horror genre’s most

towering achievements. They chronicle the adventures of Necroscope,

Harry Keogh, his successor, Jake Cutter, and the psychically gifted

agents of E-Branch, Britain’s super-secret spy organization, and their

battles against the malevolent, shape-shifting Wamphyri and their spawn.

Their exploits have spanned two worlds, thirteen novels, and an

infinity of time. The Necroscope novels have sold more than two million

copies in English alone.

Tor Books is proud to publish Necroscope: Deadspeak in hardcover for the first time. Previously available only as a mass market, paperback Necroscope: Deadspeak

is the fourth volume in Lumley’s exciting vampire series, and marks the

beginning of a new phase in the story of the Necroscope.

Harry

Keogh has triumphed over much adversity in his life, from the death of

his mother and the discovery of his amazing powers-to talk to the dead

and to travel instantaneously to any place via the Möbius Continuum-to

the fallout from his war against the vampires. He lost his body, though

not his life; his wife and infant son disappeared without a trace; and

he had to kill a woman he had come to love. What should have been a

joyful reunion with his son was tinged with horror when Harry realized

that his boy-now a man-was half-Necroscope and half-vampire, and thus a

deadly double threat to all mankind.
Father faced son in a terrible

battle, and when it was over, Harry awoke safe in his own bed, at home .

. . but his Necroscope powers were gone, locked away in the depths of

his mind!
Now, a new evil rears its head in the Balkan Mountains.

Janos Ferenczy, master vampire and black magician, has risen from an

ages-long sleep. As the first step in his plans of conquest, he conjures

dead men and women into a perverse semblance of life and subjects them

to fiendish tortures. But the shrieks of the dead barely begin to

satisfy Janos’s bloodlusts as he prepares an army of undead warriors to

conquer the world.

The dead try desperately to attract the

Necroscope’s attention, but Harry Keogh is deaf to their pleas and their

screams. As Harry searches for a cure, he learns that to save mankind

he must ally himself with the crafty father of vampires, the infamous

Faethor Ferenczy. Centuries dead, Faethor lies in his grave and schemes.

He will help Harry defeat Janos-but his price will be very high indeed!
