I really enjoyed this series. This book was just as good as the first two and I recommend this *trilogy to anyone who likes horror, scary vampires and a good bit of plot. Oh, and GREAT characters.
* Trilogy in this case means three stand alone books that have expanded into 34 novels in the same world. I don't intend to read them all. I liked the way the three books wrapped up and created a great story with a few open ends that I could let my imagination play with.

Funny thing. My mom bought me this novel many years ago, unaware that it was third in this series. So I put it on the shelf to be ready for me once I had read the first two. The first novel was dynamite. In fact, my original terse review for it deserved a much more emphatic effort, so I have just re-written it. As you can see, after reading the second novel, I had had enough and had actually gotten rid of The Source during one of my book purges. A little while back, I was urged by an online acquaintance (who just happens to go by the alias Ferenczy) to stay with the series.
Upon reflection, I came to realize that Necroscope was one of the best horror reading experiences I had had, and went out and bought yet another copy of The Source. With a renewed excitement for the series, I broke into The Source with great hope and expectation. I was not disappointed.
I can't remember the last time I have not begun to consider my next novel as I'm approaching the end of the one I'm into. No wait, I think it was Necroscope! So after finishing The Source I went shopping that night, trusty reading list in hand (I rarely continue series right away, I like to break it up a bit), picked up and and considered likely candidates. But every novel I picked up I knew would have to fight against the pull back to this series. So in fairness to these challengers I finally relented to the inevitable and almost skipped out of the store with Necroscope IV: Deadspeak under my arm.
This is good stuff, kiddies.

Liked this one much better than the previous. I found the source world to be really fascinating, and I liked a lot of the characters a great deal. It did drag at times, but I still felt like this was a really good book with some awesome ideas.
