Brian Lumley
The silence of the grave is not silent at all. In their millions, the dead are screaming...but no one can hear them! Atop a perilous cliff, deep in the Balkan mountains, rises the castle of the Ferenczy. Once it was a stronghold of the Vamphyri...and now it will be so again, for Janos Ferenczy, vampire and black magician, has risen from his ages-long sleep. Powerfu...more

By Brian Lumley, published in 1990.
In Necroscope IV: Deadspeak, the fourth Necroscope novel by Brian Lumley, something in Romania is stirring again. Ashes to ashes, dust to demon . . .
But Harry Koegh, the Necroscope, has been stripped of his powers and is pretty much useless in the battle which is to come. It is a battle he will need to win, but how?

It's been a while that Harry's powers have been dormant. The new head of E-Branch (really a Russian spy) sets up Sandra to keep tabs on him, She becomes Harry's girlfriend in the process. During this dormant time, Harry has his mind overtaken by the dead while he sleeps. These increasingly horrific dreams start to show a sign of reason for him and he figures out that the dead are sending him a message to go to the Mediterranean Sea are and track down vampires. Sandra's intentions are reveale...more
Maybe it's just me, but 'chillers' stopped chilling me and 'thrillers' stopped thrilling me a long, long time ago. It'd been a good long while since I picked up a book which fell into either category, when I got my hands on this one. The cover is suitably disturbing and well-done. The same cannot be said of the contents. I can only say that this book displays about the same level of plot ingenuity as a 1960's pulp comic. Which is not that surprising, since this is after all the fourth book of a ...more
Yes, this one was like reading a Necroscope book crossed with Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, but I really enjoyed it. Damn, I love this series.
I hated this book. A friend of mine traded the first 4 or 5 books of this series for my art history books. I think he got the better books.
the series started out very interesting, but by the fourth book, i couldn't continue. just too wierd.
You can sense the steam running out in this volume.
Creepy to the max..but a guilty pleasure :)
Another great installment of the Necroscope series. The whole vampire genre has been hashed and rehashed to death, but Lumely's legends are so original that this saga stays fresh through each novel. Add in all the other supernatural aspects he throws in and you never know what to expect around the corner.
The characters remain rather wooden throughout, but amazingly this does nothing to take away from a really fun reading experience.

The weakest of the first 5 books in the series, but you must read it if you liked any of the others and plan to read the 5th! This was actually the first book I read in the Necroscope series and it turned me own to reading all the others (some 14 books now...) - so while I don't rate it very high, it's still a good entertainment read as well as a significant impact on the rest of the books of the whole series.
So my buddy in college came to me with the first book in this series demanding that I read it. I told him I wasn't into Vampires. He insisted, demanded! So I read it and it with it's following books was one of the great adventures I have been on while reading. I loved these books. You learn so much about Vampires and their history (according to the author of course :) and the hero feels like a good friend.
Lumley carried the insanity over from Book 3 into this one very well. Starts off slow at the very beginning, but picks up quickly.
This one takes the whole Deadspeak concept to another level. A few reaches but that's OK.
Great ending to this chapter of the series with a slight hint at thing(s) to come. Looking forward to book #5 in the series.

If you get this far in the series then there is no turning back. This book starts out a little slow but heats up once Harry starts to figure things out. Janus was one of the best vampire villians that Lumley had yet devised. The ending is insane. Just not as good as the Source but still a good easy read.
It's been a while since I read the Necroscope books which are a riveting blend of horror and espionage thriller. I liked the way the dead find ways to help Harry regain his powers in time to defeat the vampire Janos.
4th in the series and it just keeps getting better and better!
This one may have actually still been interesting- though the series has its drawbacks- starting with keeping Harry as the main character.
Starting here Lumley began to falter a little, I don't know exactly what it is, but it just didn't KILL as much as the first 3 books.
it probably helped me that i was actually in the balkins when i was reading this series(which takes place there)
