They hail from a parallel world where some cataclysm left the earth’s axis tilted at an extreme angle. Cenobites look like trick-or-treaters by comparison. The Wamphyrie of Lumley’s books routinely engage in acts that make the notorious angry sex scene between Bill Compton and his maker seem like a game of checkers.
Just enough humanity left to be even more horrific. Lovecraft crossed with the more disturbing sexuality of anime. Imagine vampires as mutated (and mutating) demons. Not as darkly mysterious creatures of the night.
Brian Lumley’s “ Necroscope” series pretty much serve as an antidote to anyone disgusted by syrupy sweetness in tales of the undead.
