Brian Lumley
About this listen
An instant classic, Brian Lumley's astonishing feat of imagination spawned a universe that Lumley has explored and expanded through more than a baker's dozen novels and novellas. Millions of copies of Necroscope and its successors are in print in a dozen languages throughout the world. Nominated for the British Fantasy Award, Necroscope has inspired everything from comic books and graphic novels to sculptures and soundtracks. This new edition of Necroscope uses the author's preferred text and includes a special introduction by Brian Lumley, telling how the Necroscope saga came to be.
Harry Keogh is the man who can talk to the dead, the man for whom every grave willingly gives up its secrets, the one man who knows how to travel effortlessly through time and space to destroy the vampires that threaten all of humanity.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

For the first time ever, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced an audio recording of all of Lovecraft's stories. These are not dramatizations like our Dark Adventure Radio Theatre - rather, this is an audiobook of the original stories, in all-new, never-before-heard recordings made by the HPLHS' own Andrew Leman and Sean Branney exclusively for this collection. This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough.

It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler - and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa.

Finally, cant wait for the rest of the series now!
Would you consider the audio edition of Necroscope to be better than the print version?
yes and no, I love reading but I also dont get enough time to. Listening to the Necroscope book was awesome, I have read it a few times but listening to it brought a new element.
What did you like best about this story?
The way Mr Lumley writes is riveting, I listened to this 17 hour audio book in just under a week, I couldnt shut it off.
What about James Langton’s performance did you like?
He did well switching voices and characters, his accent helped the story along as well IMO due to it being mostly set in England.
Who was the most memorable character of Necroscope and why?
Harry Keogh! He is the master of all things, or will be. What will be, has been!
Any additional comments?
Listen to this and Audible please release the rest of the books!!!!

Waited for so long!
Would you listen to another book narrated by James Langton?
I've heard several by this performer, and though I don't dislike him, neither do I think he fit the book as well as I had hoped.
Any additional comments?
I read these books years ago, and really enjoyed them, I'm thrilled that Audible finally added them to the catalog. I'm hoping the rest of the series is coming soon!

Come and get hooked
This book has long been in my top ten of books to read and series to have. I have a physical copy and have super enjoyed listening to the tale. The character voices were not quite what they were in my head, but I couldn't expect them to be.
When reading the book I was always annoyed when it would switch to a different character and then when it came back, I would be annoyed again, but when listening it all made sense.
This is a classic horror tale featuring cold war villans and british heroes, I would a like a few more female characters (but that happens in further novels).
This is a slow building tale that is well worth it.

Perfect narration and great characters
This book is very different from what I’m used to.
I love stories with a first person narrative, like for example the Anita Blake, Dresden Files and Kushiel’s Legacy series.
Inner dialog helps me understand the characters and I feel invested and engaged much easier.
This book isn’t anything like the series I mentioned above, but nevertheless managed to catch and keep my attention.
It’s written in the third person, and it progresses very slowly. More than half the book is background story and ‘setting the stage’. No quick action and instant satisfaction here.
But because of the slow pace, I thought the characters were very well developed, which I enjoyed very much. I really liked the characters, even the bad guys.
I think this world created by Brian is very realistic, like an alternate history with a paranormal twist.
I’m looking forward continuing the series.
The narration was perfect. Quality production, great pacing and characters voices/ distinction.
I also thought James’ voice perfectly matched the serious and sometimes sinister and mysterious tone of the story.

Death is not the end!
I love Brian Lumley's series. Just having a book about people who can speak to dead would have been awesome enough but with all the world spy organization espionage, undead and evil shenanigans this book keeps you roped in the entire way through.
