Everything You Know About Vampires Is Wrong | Jim Reviews Necroscope III The Source

from Fantasy for the Ages · host Jim Scriven

What if everything you’ve ever been told about vampires was wrong?In this spoiler-lite review of Necroscope III: The Source by Brian Lumley, I continue my journey through one of horror’s most beloved cult-classic series. After two increasingly impressive novels, Lumley takes things to another level by dramatically expanding the mythology behind his terrifying vampires—and trust me, the explanation isn’t anything like what you’re expecting.Join me as I discuss what worked, what didn’t, how Harry Keogh continues to be one of horror’s most unique protagonists, and whether this third installment keeps the momentum rolling after the excellent Necroscope II: Vamphyri!.Have you read The Source? What did you think of Lumley’s evolving vampire mythology?
