‘Since reading Lumley’s Necroscope series, I know that vampires really do exist.’ H.R. Giger‘Like the vampires it so full-bloodedly portrays, Brian Lumley's Necroscope series just gets stronger. His lively mix of action and monstrosity transmutes the base cliché of the vampire and turns it into a wonderfully contemporary bane.’ Fear Magazine‘This fourth volume in the popular series pays particular homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula … Lumley retains much of the florid melodrama that Stoker reveled in, with an increased explicitness suited to the present day. Still, the traditions are there: vampires can change form, are vulnerable to silver and garlic and must receive permission before entering either a dwelling or a mind. Lumley provides more rationale than Stoker [to] give the novel an Ian Fleming/Stephen King crossover feel … a fast-moving tale of the primal horror of an undead parasite worthy of Stoker's original.’ Publishers Weekly
