    hi , i have read necroscope : the touch and almost every other book in the necroscope series. i enjoyed it in one sense, (back in necroscope territory) and not in another ( i consider this to be the weakest instalment). have you read any of his other necroscope books ??
    i am currently reading necroscope: the lost years 1 & 2 and found myself back in harry keogh territory !! brilliant !!!

    I know what your saying,but I personally don't consider a lot of these books to be any good.Just not my taste, I don't like ann rice,stephanie meyer etc.
    I did however like the book Salems lot by King ,although I'am not a huge king fan and the tv series was'nt bad
    Vampire films i liked "dust to dawn","Dracula"etc i never read the books.
    I think necroscope and the others in the series would be hard to film,but if done right could be the LOTR of vampire films.If you have read the series you will know what i mean.If not give it a try.

    I have loved most of the nercoscope series, haven't read Touch yet.
    Given what they deal with and how, it is not surprising there has not been a moive.
    Damn this thread makes me want to re read them all.
