Horror Guy's Reviews > The Source
The Source (Necroscope, #3)

While the other two books in the series were capable of having weird prose and still being readable, here Lumley's worst authorial traits are in full force. Every single page is thick with overexpression prose and exclamation marks, usually used for things that are important. Here it's used for almost everything, which means the reader is constantly thinking something is more important than it is.
Brian Lumley's tendency towards weird body horror, one I actually like and would probably translate to a great movie series given an unlimited budget is abused here too. Lumley seems convinced he needs to describe everything about the vampire's world in long Lovecraftian prose which just exhausts the reader.
Just read the first two. I'll try the next two and see what happens and if things improve, but I'm not particularly excited to do so.
