Brian Lumley’s Necroscope novels are one of the horror genre’s most
towering achievements. The adventures of the Necroscopes, Harry Keogh
and his successor, Jake Cutter, and the psychically gifted agents of
E-Branch, Britain’s super-secret spy organization, as they battle
malevolent, shape-shifting Wamphyri 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: Deadspawn in hardcover for the first time.
Previously available only in mass market, Necroscope: Deadspawn is the
fifth spine-tingling volume in Lumley’s exciting vampire series and
marks a turning point in the life and career of Harry Keogh, the
original Necroscope.
After the battles of Deadspeak, Harry has
recovered his Necroscopic abilities. He can once again travel instantly
between places and times via the marvelous mathematics of the Möbius
Continuum. He can once again hear and speak to the dead and carry
messages between the living and those long gone.
But the
Necroscope’s bargain with Faethor Ferenczy, father of vampires, has sown
the seed of Harry’s downfall—a vampire seed! Deep in the recesses of
Harry’s mind, a vampire grows, a vampire that might someday be the
greatest Wamphyri of all, one with all the Necroscope’s great psychic
powers warped to evil use.
Harry’s lifetime on earth has just
become sharply limited. But until he loses the fight against the vampire
thing, the Necroscope still has work to do. The tortured victims of a
serial killer and necromancer cry out for justice. Harry Keogh is the
only person who can identify and find this vile murderer. And he will do
it, fighting the vampire spawn inside him every step of the way.
