The term necroscope, as defined in the series, describes someone who can communicate with the dead (coined Deadspeak later in the series). Unlike necromancers, who here extract the knowledge they seek by brutal eviscerations of corpses, a necroscope can communicate with them as equals: peacefully and without any physical interference. The abilities of a necroscope are defined as a type of ESP.
The Necroscope Saga by Brian Lumley most certainly has a cult following, but overall it is far too unknown amongst horror fans in general. Especially considering it represents the absolute pinnacle of all vampire fiction across all forms of media. Bold statement, but one I will forever stand by. These are the best vampires stories in existence, with the best vampires in existence. Not until recently has anything even come close.
I can understand people being reticent to begin such a long series, but the great thing about Necroscope is that it never started life with intention of being a huge series. It was a completely standalone book, meaning it's perfectly safe for anybody to try it out and see if they like it, with full knowledge that you'll get a satisfying conclusion to the story. The second book was a standalone sequel, as were all of the first five books. Not until book 6 did major story arcs begin to span multiple volumes.
Below is a visual timeline I created which shows all of the books in the series. Above the line are the core novels. Below are novellas and short stories which are largely side stories and less related to the core plot.
Additionally, it highlights two ways to read the series. Publication order (a must for first timers) and chronological order (excellent for re-reads).
