He is also an intuitive mathematician who, through discussions with August Ferdinand Mobius (yes, he of the Mobius strip), also has access to the Mobius continuum which allows Harry almost instantaneous travel to any destination to which he can calculate the co-ordinates, effectively teleportation. The Necroscope of the title, and the ongoing hero for many volumes, is one Harry Keogh who has the ability to talk to the dead and, when necessity arises, to make them rise up. For those unfamiliar with the Necroscope universe, here is a brief outline: the universe is a mixture of horror, science fiction and fantasy which pits 'psi-powered' individuals against vampires. This, then, twenty-one years after the series started, is the fourteenth Necroscope book! But don't panic you can read this as a stand-alone, though I have to say that it would certainly help if you have read at least the initial five books. This was followed by a further four volumes, Wamphyri!, The Source, Deadspeak and Deadspawn then came three volumes of 'Vampire World', set in the same universe, Blood Brothers, The Last Aerie and Bloodwars and then another five Necroscope books, The Lost Years, Resurgence, Invaders, Defilers and Avengers. (2007) Brian Lumley, Solaris, £9.99, pbk, 431pp, ISBN 978-1-844-1-6485-3īrian Lumley started the Necroscope series back in 1986 with the first volume, Necroscope. Let us know in the comments which books should have made our list.Review of Necroscope: The Touch by Brian Lumley Fiction Reviews That is all for our list of the 20 best horror novels of all time. Carrion Comfort is a long but amazing read that I enjoyed more than I thought I would! Conclusion All three are well written and two of them have had mainstream success. Other novels that are worth checkout on the list are Ring by Koji Suzuki, Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons, and The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. If you like horror, then those are worth reading and seeing how many novels have been inspired by them. Novels like Dracula and Frankenstein are the face of the genre. Our list includes some classics because leaving them off would be a crime.
Choosing only 20 horror novels was not easy.
