Booktastic



Necroscope by Brian Lumley

Truth be told I thought I was going to hate this with a passion. I tend to judge a book by the first paragraph. If it hooks me in, I'm usually sold. I wasn't hot on the first paragraph here, but God Damn if it doesn't have you by the second!!!! This is a book with more than a few supernatural themes, from Government endorsed ESPionage to corpse mind readers. And I know it's been said a thousand times, but I swear...an original take on the vampire mythos is laid bare in this absolute enthralling winner of a novel. I read all 500+ pages in one sitting and I'm eagerly expecting to start on the sequel if Amazon gets their ass in gear! There are 6 or 7 books in the series and I pray it never gets old....
