The Necromancer's House by Christopher Buehlman Review


I wanted to make sure you had a chance to review the information below for an October/November blog tour for Christopher Buehlman’s THE NECROMANCER’S HOUSE…let me know if you are interested in participating!

For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and horror films/movies, we hope you'll join our first ever horror novel blog tour, perfect to kick off October and November.

When Christopher Buehlman’s debut novel, THOSE ACROSS THE RIVER, was published in 2011, New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs called it “terrible and beautiful. As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz. A graceful, horrific read.” Buehlman’s eerie and evocative tale garnered a solid following of readers and enthusiasts.

Now, Penguin/Ace is thrilled to present Christopher Buehlman’s third book, THE NECROMANCER’S HOUSE (October 1, 2013), a story that follows Andrew Ranulf Blakenship—a handsome, stylish nonconformist with a wry wit, a classic Mustang, and a massive library. He is also a recovering alcoholic and a practicing warlock, able to speak with the dead through film. He has come into possession of a spell book previously owned by the storied Russian witch Baba Yaga. With it, Andrews has summoned a demon he cannot control.


About the author:
Christopher Buehlman is a native Floridian and author of the literary horror novels Those Across the River and Between Two Fires. He won the 2007 Bridport Prize in poetry and was nominated for a World Fantasy Award for best novel in 2012 for Those Across The River. He is also the author of several provocative plays, including Hot Nights for the War Wives of Ithaka. Many know him as comedian Christophe the Insultor, something of a cult figure on the renaissance festival circuit. Christopher holds a Bachelor’s degree in French Language from Florida State University, where he minored in History. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.

My Review:The Necromancer's House by Christopher Buelman is a scary sort of science fiction story . I enjoyed the storyline but felt it was a little to slow moving for me. I found it a little hard to get engrossed in. I would however, recommend this novel to anyone that would like this storyline. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
