© 1989: 3rd in the 'Necroscope' series of books. Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 1989 edition:- Synopsis: The horror from beyond. An invasion from an alien dimension! That would be horror enough in itself: the thought of monstrous beings stalking the Earth. But how much more nightmarish if the invaders were each and every one - Vampires! Searching the infinite parallel time-streams of the metaphysical Mobius Continuum for his long-lost wife and son, the NECROSCOPE Harry Keogh discovers that Soviet scientists have accidentally opened a portal to mankind's worst nightmares. The lethal terror of Chernobyl is a bad dream by comparison. The Source of all Dark Legends can now be reached by any who dare to pass through the Gate. And by some who do not dare - but have no choice:- Review(s): "'Necroscope III: The Source' carries the story begun in 'Necroscope' and continued in Necroscope II: Wamphyri!' on into terrifying new dimensions of other-worldly horror and carnage. Here is your ticket to Hell. But be warned: it's a one-way ticket":- (original cost £4.50).…

Harry Keogh discovers that Soviet scientists have accidentally opened a portal to our collective worst nightmares beside which the lethal terror of Chernobyl is a mere bad dream. Now the horror from the source of all Dark Legends is set to invade the world of the living.
The Ural mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural portal. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies study the portal from their secret military base – and the evil creatures emerging from it intent on ravaging the living.
When Jazz Simmons, a British agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB and forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh, Necroscope, that the vampires are preparing for a mass invasion.
Harry has only one option: to strike first. He must carry the human–vampire war to the vampires’ own lands. But his strongest psychic power will be useless there – what good is the power to summon the dead in a country where nothing ever dies, where every man, woman and child becomes a half-dead servant to the Vamphyri?
