Summary: Lumley's Formula?
Comment: "~The first book I read of Lumley's after I read the first few Necroscope novels."~ hero I could sympathise with. But that is just it. It seems Lumley followed his successful formula here, but didn't really introduce anything new or interesting to the reader. the concept. I just wish he would have gone into more detail with some of the ideas he presented in this story. Who knows? Perhaps he will.

Summary: An excellent if incomplete novel
Comment: This was an excellent if incomplete novel of Lumley's, who of course is better known for the Necroscope series. It is one of the few "stand alone" books that Lumley has written that has not spawned any sequels. Although it is lesser than the unparraleled books in that sequence, (much as his other "stand alone" House of Doors), it remains a good read for his die-hard fans who are willing to give a good horror novel that has no mention of vampires, a chance. Essentialy the book follows the Cary Grant-like theif who gets mixed up in a plot of the Anti-Christ's to take over the world, only to find out that... well, I had better not spoil it. The only real problem with the book was the ending which didn't quite sit right with me. I think that Lumley should try a sequel to flesh out the original ideas in Demogorgon and re-invent the judeo-christian mythos horror genre, much as he did for the vampire and Lovecraftian genres. I give it a 7.

Summary: An uninspired novel by an otherwise talented author.
Comment: Brian Lumley's 'Demogorgon' is an o.k. read if you have some extra time and aren't particularly choosy about what you're reading. I may have liked it more if I hadn't already read his other books and expected a little better. It does have some parts to it that are entertaining, however, and is not a complete dud. But I recommend reading his other works, such as the Necroscope series, long before this one.
