Hi! Still reading the first tome and really enjoying it!! Love the name Vamphyri!!! I'll watch the other half of the video when I'm done reading it!! Again, thanks a lot for the suggestion and the discovery !
I somehow ended up with the Necroscope TTRPG in my teens, and thus found out about the book series. I got all five books and enjoyed them, though, at the end I felt some parts were unnecessarily gross. I gave the books and the game to a friend eventually, so can’t dig them out, but getting reminded of them makes me nostalgic. Thanks!
I just made a book review of the first one I'm currently working on the second, I will agree with you sitting with some of your criticisms the second book was kind of lacking but also made up for it in other ways. I personally think the first and third book are the best so far I still need to read dead speak and blood wars.
Awesome! Not sure I would agree with combining the two books, I think I like them they way they are, though I see your point, it feels a bit like Lumley is going “oh I just remembered…”😂 I remember the third book being really wild, and that’s actually were I stopped too (a few years ago) couldn’t find the rest of the books anywhere… I really should get the rest, apparently they get better… hmm!
Combining and then re-edited into two different volumes. So much of part 2 should really be in part 1. It's not bad the way it is, it just feels really weird to me. I think clunky is a good way to put it.
I think these books--like a lot of the horror novels of the 1980s, during the horror boom--suffer from padded writing to make a book with more pages. Probably cutting these books down to what's more essential would create a far better story for the reader. Meanwhile, your descriptions of these books make them sound like some whacked-out pulp fiction. And there's nothing wrong with that.

That's a very comprehensive and illuminating review! I need to check it ! (Not English speaking native, so was not aware of the author) thanks!
What language do you typically read ?
@@allfictionisfantasy French, then English without any problem. But my knowledge of these authors is somewhat limited.

Does this book have the intervals like the first book?

Book 3 takes the whacked-out pulp fiction to whole new levels. It's so bad-ass.
