Lord Malinari and Lady Vavara (that beautiful hag with jewel-green eyes who loves wild honey and wolf hearts) now take up plans to bring humanity into lasting bloodlust and darkness forever, enjoining it to the predawn Vampire World of Starside/Sunside and using Manhattan’s greatest building as its aerie, after lacquering it black inside and out to block out sunlight. Harry’s spot in Britain’s top-secret E-Branch (“E” for ESP) has been taken over by young new Necroscope Jake Cutter, who traces Malinari to Australia and destroys his fungi garden (which was spawning spores to enslave all humanity), although The Mind escapes. to sum up: The original Necroscope and top vampire killer, Harry Keogh, dies (no big deal) and splits into several beings, including bits of the evil Lord Malinari (who has his own independent counterpart as well). Nor will a crossdimensional multimap, however wide-angled to include however many astral planes touched on by Lumley, bring sense to the abstract hopscotch of the epic’s general plan. Lumley’s series swells past mere human ability to keep its metamorphic storywarp on the mindscreen. Jake's got personal revenge on his mind, and he's spending too much time talking that dead vampire.Thirteenth gigavolume in Lumley’s megaloid vampire epic, and the last of a trilogy ( Necroscope: Invaders, 1999 Necroscope: Defilers, 2000). E-Branch, with the reluctant Jake along for the ride, is about to go head-to-head with Malinari the Mind, a vampire Lord who psychic abilities are second to none.īut the dead don't trust Jake, not like they trusted Harry. If Jake is the new Necroscope, he has to learn-fast!-how to control his powers and speak to the dead. He hears them all, but he doesn't truly understand.

Jake's dreams are very strange, filled with the voices of the dead-the Great majority, the Necroscope, Harry Keogh, even a dead vampire.

Jake Cutter is running for his life through the streets of Turin when he vanishes, appearing moments later inside the triply locked 'Harry's room' in E-Branch's London HQ. Though the necroscope is gone, the psychically gifted men and women of E-Branch move swiftly against the vampire infestation. Three great vampires-two Lords and a Lady-arrive on an unsuspecting Earth that teems with defenseless humans, easy prey for the marauding vampires.
