Paul Wilson:
I've read only the Keep, by Paul Wilson. There are other titles in that series, but that's the only one I've read thus far. Unfortunately (for me), I found it very tedious reading.
Brian Lumley:
For me, these Brian Lumley books combine espionage, horror, pulp-fiction writing, vampires, etc. all in a progressively complicated storyline. But for me, that's OK: I enjoy that type of writing. To summarize, reading them is fun, with plenty of horror thrown in.
I would suggest to anyone that he or she download a sample of the first one (Necroscope), and then see if that keeps one's interest.
The quality varies, of course, from one book to the next, but I think that's normal for a series of such length.
