As I said in my review of the first book in the series, [b:Necroscope|66655|Necroscope (Necroscope, #1)|Brian Lumley|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1170652860s/66655.jpg|1888272], I first read these books in middle and high-school. They are dated, but once you think of them as historical fiction and are able to overlook the politics and technology, they are well worth the read. Lumley had a wonderful story here, and excellent characters, not to mention a mind-blowing plot line.

The books are a bit a slow to read, but only because they make you think and figure out what's going on. Details, intrigue, tensions...this book is just as good as the first. This is a horror book...not the shiny happy vampires of today's kids. Lumley is a devotee of HP Lovecraft and you can tell in his style and his monsters.

Enjoy!
