Brian Lumley – Necroscope II: Wamphyri! (Grafton, 1988, 495 p.) T HINGS IN THE GROUND, THINKING THEIR THOUGHTS … Thoughts they can express only through Harry Keogh, NECROSCOPE. For that's Harry's talent, and his burden: he reads the thoughts of the dead in their graves – and the thoughts of the Undead! Except … the undead are thinking things that are totally – unthinkable! WAMPHYRI! Yulian Bodescu's mother fainted at the tomb of Thibor Ferenczy, vampire. Corrupt from birth, now Yulian feels a strange compulsion: to discover his real father and spread his work abroad. Only Harry Keogh, prisoner of the metaphysical Möbius Continuum, can stop him. Harry's other big problem is this: HE DOESN'T HAVE A BODY!Another talky back text. Tor called the novel Vamphyri, and it sold well enough to give its writer enough work for the next decades. I don't remember much about this. Except it had more ESP agents battling the fiendish KGB and the monsters, while likable Harry was even more a superhero. Always wondered that this never made it to the screen, especially in recent years, when every second and third rate horror comic got a series on Syfy or Netflix.

"Author of the PSYCHOMECH trilogy." It was a sales argument in the day.
