Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

James Langton’s narration of Necroscope is nothing short of stellar. His portrayal of the complex characters and his ability to modulate pitch and tone to evoke fear or intrigue are masterful. The pacing is taut, allowing for moments of eerie suspense without losing momentum. However, some listeners might find parts of the narrative overly dense with exposition, which can slow down the action. Despite this, Lumley’s prose is so vivid that it makes these sections worthwhile. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of horror and mystery who crave a deep, unsettling ride through the realms of the macabre.
