Necroscope #5
Deadspawn
There's a maniacal murderer on the loose, brutally slaughtering young women with a ferocity that rivals that of vampires Harry Koegh has spent his life combatting. The Necroscope's been asked to solve the crimes...asked by the dead spirits of the madman's victims.
Harry cannot turn down a request from the dead...even if it costs him his soul. In the climactic battle with the vampires, mankind prevailed and purged the vampires from earth--thanks to Harry, his team of psychically-gifted spies, and Faethor Ferenczy, long-dead 'father' of the world's vampires, who betrayed his own kind.
But Harry's alliance with Faethor has a terrible cost--Harry's very humanity is under attack from the vampire evil coiled in his mind!

Este es el tomo final del arco central de Crónicas Necroscopicas. Las crónicas me resultaron fascinantes, Lumley toma elementos contextuales como la guerra fría y el espionaje y algunos otros clichés de la literatura y del cine y logra crear un universo donde pareciera que todo tiene sentido: espías, vampiros, viajes dimensionales, parásitos, muertos vivientes y por si fuera poco mitología lovecraftiana. Los dos primeros tomos, los más conservadores, sin que estos los demerite, tienen un gran giro a partir del 3er libro lo que le permite a Lumley ganar en creatividad y autenticidad. Si les gusta el terror y quisieran leer una historia auténtica contada con elemento familiares estos 5 tomos son ideales.

Todo principio tiene un final y todo final tiene un principio.
Maravilloso broche para cerrar esta saga de vampiros, muertos vivientes, nigromantes y, como no, el maravilloso necroscopio, el protagonista de esta historia, Harry Keogh, donde hay muerte, horror pero también bondad y amor, como en la vida misma.

Es un libro muy completo, hasta parece que abarca varios libros (por las historias). No esperaba el final pero aun así, y a pesar de que no soy muy fan de dios y esas cosas, me gustó. Me alegra mucho que Harry haya sido capaz de dominar su vampiro (algo así).
