The book literally has everything-an identity crisis, romance, violence, an evil villain, a femme fatale, undead pandas, and of course, an epic battle between necromancers, werewolves, and lawn gnomes. What sets this story apart from The Vampire Diaries, Twilight, and other similar novels? Answer: plenty. Zombies, werewolves, paranormal activity, bizarre blood rituals-it doesn't get much stranger than that.īut wait. After all, in case you didn't pick up on this, Lish McBride's 2010 paranormal novel Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is one weird book.

I made a promise to myself back then that I would come back and live here, a promise I made good on that following summer. ![]() I’d visited each of these buildings the first time I came to Berlin, marveling at the gritty, enigmatic city I’d discovered.
