I think this book was part of a series and for some reason I keep thinking the authors name was Ludlum or maybe the last name started with an L.

The plot was about a man turned into a vampire in like a parallel world. It had humans being slaughtered and eaten. There were 4-5 vamps ruling the land.. I believe the turned vampire somehow went from "our" world to this new world and his brother I think named Jonathon or Nickolas was the antagonist.


This is something I read at least 10 years ago from the local library so I'm not sure if anyone would be able to help.

Sounds interesting, I would like to know the title of this book too.

Though I haven't read any, could it be part of Brian Lumley's Necroscope series?

it's definitely from the Ludlum Necroscope series. You're looking for the part of the series named "Blood Brothers," detailing the two sons of Harry Keogh, the Necroscope. Here's a synopsis of Blood Brothers:

"Vampires, sons borns of mortals, thralls, crones, trogs, the undead, shape-shifters, leeches, hags, flyers, cartilage creatures--all are characters in this diverting if drawn-out tale of the twin sons of Harry Keough. The late Keough (previously seen in Necroscope and four other outings), a telepathic vampire hunter able to speak with the dead, has passed the torch to his unwitting sons, Nestor and Nathan, who not only think their father was a humble gypsy but also mistakenly believe that all the vampires in the world were destroyed long ago. The young men--one seemingly simple and innocent, the other strong and fiercely intelligent--are separated when their settlement on Sunside is attacked by vampire warriors from Starside known as Wamphyri. As their personalities undergo drastic transformations and Keough's legacy reemerges in new and very strange surroundings, each must struggle to retain his identity as evil forces threaten. Naturally, one twin proves more successful than the other. While the brothers' travails are somewhat compelling, as is the course of their love for the same woman, it is the villains here--Wratha, the Unrisen and Maglore of Runemanse--who are bound to engage readers most.
