Review Summaries
"The vampire-hunting E-Branch prepare to take on the vampiress Vavara, one of three wamphyri lords roaming the Earth. Meanwhile the new Necroscope, Jake Cutter, sets off alone to take revenge on his girlfriends' murderers. The story has one or two interesting ideas, but ruined by pedestrian plotting, inane dialogue and some moments of truly awful writing."
Artemis, Resident Brian Lumley Scholar
