Necroscope Brian Lumley Published 1986 Scanned by Black Pig Productions 15 April 2001 DEFINITIONS Tele- (Gk.tele: far.) A telescope is an optical instrument which enlarges the images of distant objects. For example: the surface of the Moon may be viewed as from only a few hundred miles away. Micro- (Gk. mikros: small.) A microscope is an optical instrument which makes small objects visible to the human eye. Through a microscope, a drop of clear water is seen to contain countless unsuspected micro-organisms. Necro- (Gk. nekros: a corpse.) A necroscope is a human instrument which permits access to the minds of the dead. Harry Keogh is a necroscope - he knows the thoughts of corpses in their graves. The main difference between these instruments is this: the first two perform purely physical, one-way functions. They are incapable of changing anything. The Moon cannot look back through the telescope; the amoeba does not know it is under microscopic scrutiny. Thats Harry Keoghs big problem: his talent seems to work both ways.
