Jake Cutter is reluctantly learning how to be a Necroscope--how to use the Mobius continuum to travel instantaneously from place to place, how to talk to the dead--but dead humans don't like him much. It seems Jake's got a hitchhiker named Korath. Since Korath holds the key to the Mobius equations, Jake can't just kick him out . . . though he's certainly trying.
Jake's not sure he really wants to be a member of E-Branch, the supersecret ESP-powered organization that's dedicated to eradicating the vampire infestation of Earth. To the freewheeling, passionate Jake, the E-Branchers seem a little stuffy and hidebound--except for the lovely Liz, whom Jake wants to get to know better, body and mind. But Liz is a telepath, and if Jake's not careful, she'll find out about Korath. And that will likely be the end of Jake Cutter.
In Australia, Jake helped E-Branch destroy the aerie of the mind-master , Nephtam Malinari, one of a trio of Great Vampires who came to Earth from the vampire world. Malinari escaped and went to ground with the hideously beautiful Lady Vavara. Vavara has taken over a holy monastary on a beautiful Greek island and turned the nuns into most unholy creature with fearsome appetites for all things carnal.
Jake wants revenge against the Italian mobsters who killed the woman he loved and nearly killed him. As far as he's concerned, E-Branch can search for Malinari, Vavara, and the metamorphic Lord Szwart without him until he's satisfied his own bloodlust. But it seems vampire hunting is truly Jake's job now--the men he's trying to kill aren't men at all, but vampire spawn, hidden for two generations in human guise! To defeat them, Jake will need every weapon in a Necroscope's arsenal, including the power to all the unsleeping dead out of their moldering graves.

Necroscope Defilers eBook Brian Lumley
Brian Lumley is one of my all time favorite authors, and the entire Necroscope series is in my top five of the best books ever written. When I first started reading these books, years ago, I was blown away by the concept of the thing. The best thing of all was a take on vampires that scared the ever loving crap out of me. I thought I had read about scary vampires before, but the Wamphyri were a whole new level of scary. I've read this particular book at least 15 times and at 51 years of age, I can say that I still get nightmares every time I read it. While I think that the next five books in this series was even more terrifying, this is the one that starts it all and explains what Harry Keogh actually is and all about the E-Branch. If you love the scares, and want the best vampire fiction out there, then look no further. Yep, I'd recommend this book and author.Product details

Necroscope Defilers eBook Brian Lumley Reviews
I was bored in the beginning, disgusted in the first quarter, excited in the middle and disappointed in the end.
The beginning of the book is plain boring and I was thinking about stopping reading.
Then the book got simply disgusting when author started describing his pornographic dreams.
The middle the book got interesting - the antagonist was very well developed and the story seemed to be going somewhere.
The finale was boring, the main character undeveloped and plainly riding the life without efforts. Then the unnecessary killings of soviet army people with idiotic army of the death. Finally, the "death" of main character that was also was very poorly executed.
The book is mediocre and does not require a lot of thinking. Just keep reading and ignore all of the idiocrasies… Personally, I will not be continuing reading any more books of this series.
This book was advised to me by my wife. I absolutely loved it. I went ahead and bought its sequel digitally through . This was the most creative take on the Vampire mythos I have ever had the pleasure of reading. With the ending, I didn't feel there was any room for a sequel. I was never more happy to see that there was an entire series of books following this!! If you like horror, fantasy, or science fiction at all and have patience (a little over half the book is needed back story and character development that is entertainingly written) to allow the story to build its needed intricacies, then you should definitely give this book a go.
Brian Lumley's Necroscope is not heroic fiction, which I typically focus on. It is very entertaining and has connections to Weird Sword & Sorcery adventure which led me to read it
1) Heroes of Dreams & Khash series I discovered Lumley’s writing via his Weird Sword & Sorcery. Vintage dark fantasy spawned in the early 1900’s from the work of pen-pals R.E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft; though it seems rare to find quality Conan-Mythos mash-ups. Lumely has done so a few times. First, his Hero of Dreams series is an overt mashup of Lovecraft’s Dreamcycle and Leiber’s Fafred and Gray Mouser series. Lumley’s Tarra Khash series (a.k.a. Tales of Primal Land) was written in a similar vein (i.e. fun Sword & Sorcery adventure in a Weird-Fiction, Cthulhu-esque world).
2) Blood Omen Legacy of Kain A huge fan of the Horror S&S Game Series “Blood Omen Legacy of Kain”, I was delighted to learn that Lumely’s writing influenced Denis Dyack’s vision of Nosgoth. Denis Dyack, creator of Silicon Knights, made the original Blood Omen Legacy of Kain game (various incarnations from 1996 thru 2009). As a Kain fan I did not know the influence from Lumely until I saw an interview on Youtube (The Quantum Tunnel 2016 called Blood Omen Legacy Of Kain Deep Dive 1) in which Dyack reveals that the classic horror/action-rpg game was influenced by Lumey’s Necroscope series. Given the Visceral, Vampire, Lovecraftian, and Time Travel elements, this makes sense; however, the book has a contemporary setting versus the medieval one in the game.
As a fan of Khash, Heroes of Dreams, and Legacy of Kain… I just had to check out Necroscope. So what is it really?
Necroscope is “ESPionage” fiction (a word coined in this book), blending paranormal horror with spy adventure. It kicks off a series of 18 books (published 1986 to 2013). This first entry is entertaining and sets an expansive foundation for a wild ride. People with supernatural powers (predicting the future, speaking to the dead, etc.) are being enlisted into government agencies.
The book is ostensibly about the battle between the United Kingdom vs. the Russian governments special forces, but the conflict is really about Harry Keogh (speaker to the dead) vs. Boris Dragosani (who approximates a vampire). Each is associated with a government, but each is motivated by personal goals which take center stage. The reader learns about supernatural powers as these two do. After they master their respective powers, they go to battle in a most bizarre way chock-full of undead things and over the top time travel.
Expect lots of changing perspective and lots of story threads that will gel about half way through. Artwork is unexpectedly sprinkled throughout the book (even the version). The geometry puzzles and Moebius Strips shown relate the story and make for fun, relevant, diversions. This is very digestible horror for non-horror fans. A very fast read, recommended to just about everyone who likes dark adventure.
This is a great book! Originally, a friend loaned it to me and it set on the shelf for several months without me even starting. He kept pushing me to read it, but I am not a fan of horror. Finally read it. I have most of the books in this series, and several other series he has written as well. Great author, and well worth the time and money.
I just bought this on Audible simply because I have more windshield time than reading time. The audio rendition is very well done. Please Audible, add more of the books in this series!!
