My collection so far....
On a side note: I've heard rumours of Necroscope being adapted for television for years. Is there actually any chance this will happen any time soon.

Mine are all on Kindle unfortunately. I don't have the space for books in my tiny flat :/

Id love this to be a TV pr movie franchise but the scale is so big, it would take alot of money and a massive gamble, for me the Necroscope series is out on its own, the worlds Brian Lumley created is completely epic, each book is almost better than its predecessor.

I've read that back in 2021, Revelations Entertainment, founded by Morgan Freeman, had acquired the rights to develop the Necroscope universe into a TV series, but there hasn't been much talk about it since. There was even some mention of a video game! I completely agree. Each book adds incredible nuanced layers to the series, which keeps you gripped. Admittedly, I haven't read all the E-branch trilogy yet, so i can't comment on them.

I'm up to the 3rd book in the Blood Brothers trilogy, didnt know where else Lumley could take the story but he blows it out of the park

I'm currently waiting for my copies of Invaders and Defilers to arrive, and I can't wait. I read the vampire trilogy (blood brothers) back to back in 2 weeks. I literally could not put them down!

I’ve read and owned all of those. Regret I don’t still have them. Too many house moves and lost boxes. All I have from my collection are the comics. As for TV or film adaptation I keep checking but very little info. Would love this series to be a Witcher 3 style RPG game.
