I Will Rise by Michael Calvillo
An astoundingly well written and extremely original debut novel that manages to be epic and personal at the same time. Best book I've read in over a year.

Well, I tried Clive Barker's Imajica. I read the first 100 pages and hated it. Most of the story was pointless everyday blabla, the characters were mostly worthless ordinary nobodies, the cosmology was ridiculous rather than fantastic. (Merchants traveling the Dominions selling exotic souvenirs? Please. It feels more like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy than any serious fantasy.) It's not even remotely horrific. If it's even "dark", then it's a whining, tree-hugging, moralizing emo kind of "dark".
Awful. Couldn't bear to read any more. I'll move on to some of the other suggestions. I just wanted to rant.

My Favorite series right now is Necroscope written by Brian Lumley I'm waiting for the 5th book to arrive so I can start it, they sell out fast here where I am.... Here are the first four I've read there are 15 books to the series:
1. Necroscope  2. Vamphryi !  3. The Source  4. Deadspeak  ~ SYNOPSIS: NECROSCOPE (US) Copyright © 1986 Brian Lumley Cover art by Bob Eggleton ISBN: 0-812-51684-2 Published by Tom Doherty Associates, Inc. THE OUTER LIMITS OF HORROR From the undead vampire in the Romanian mausoleum, Boris Dragosani tries to draw an evil force so powerful he will gain supremacy in the ultra-secret paranormal agency he works for in Russia. His official job is as a NECROSCOPE - his specialty is tearing secrets from the souls of newly-dead traitors. And England too has her necroscope - her communicator with the dead. When Harry Keogh is recruited from by the British Secret Service to take on the paranormal menace from behind the Iron Curtain, the stage is set for the most horrifying, violent supernatural confrontation ever... DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES Except to Harry Keogh, Necroscope. And what they tell him is horrifying. In the Balkan mountains of Rumania, a terrible evil is growing. Long buried in hallowed ground, bound by earth and silver, the master vampire schemes and plots. Trapped in unlife, neither dead nor living, Thibor Ferenczy hungers for freedom and revenge. The vampire's human tool is Boris Dragosani, part of a super-secret Soviet spy agency. Dragosani is an avid pupil, eager to plumb the depthless evil of the vampire's mind. Ferenczy teaches Dragosani the awful skills of the necromancer, gives him the ability to rip secrets from the mind and bodies of the dead. Dragosani works not for Ferenczy's freedom but world domination. He will rule world with the knowledge raped from the dead. His only opponent: Harry Keogh, champion of the dead and the living. To protect Harry, the dead will do anything - even rise from their graves!
