The other edition in my library has a more complete review that I wrote when I read it again around 2008. I'd first encountered these when I was about 20 and was not aware of how Lumley relegates women in this and, I think, the other books - the basic triumvirate of mother, sex object and witch. That's all the women get to do is be had for sex, motherhood or advice pertaining to the supernatural, and the last one has to be dead to get that role. Sad really and a product of its time when it was expected not only from the writer and his male readers, but of women who only really knew female characters through the lenses of men who love to keep them in their little boxes. ( ) Nokkuð þekkt sería frá seinni hluta 20. aldar. Harry Keogh er gæddur þeim fágæta eiginleika að geta átt í samskiptum við látna, rætt við þá að fyrra bragði, lært af þeim og orðið stöðugt færari afburðamaður. Á sama tíma kemst annar einstaklingur undir áhrifavald fornar vampíru sem reynir að nýta sér hann til að komast aftur á kreik. Sagan gerist á tímum Kalda stríðsins þar sem öll stórveldin búa yfir deildum sem reyna stöðugt að nýta sér eiginleika dulspekinnar og herja á hvert annað. Nokkuð sérstök skýring á orsökum vampírisma sem er nýstárleg og framhaldsbækurnar vinna frekar út frá henni. no reviews | add a review
