The story has bridged several genres so far... I feel like I'm reading a horror story as well as a spy thriller. Picture Stephen King, meets Robert Ludlum. Which, unfortunately is completely unfair to Mr. Lumley, who has managed to mix the two genres seamlessly. I think this may be my third read-through and I still find things that captivate me and keep me thinking. A totally enjoyable experience.

Still enjoying the story. You know, it's too bad that there are not more novels that are able to cross genres as well as this book. It's horror, it's a thriller, and it's a spy story all in one. The tale is told masterfully and keeps the reader turning the pages to find out what happens next. Better yet, I'm finding I'm enjoying the character of Harry Keogh.

Just got into Chapter 2. My older self is not disappoint in what my younger self though was good. Here we have ESPionage - Cold-War Style. Dragosani, our Russian Necromancer doesn't disappoint and his handler Borowitz is as I remember him. Really enjoying the re-read.
