Those of you who like Mr. Lumley's Vampires will also like Psychomech very much.
The story revolves around British Army Corporal Richard Garrison and Thomas Schroeder. You get to delve a bit into the post-war era of the Nazis; observe the life of a millionaire who likes hallucinogenic mushrooms and refers to the smell of them as "semen"; witness the love-lives of both men; observe the IRA get pummeled; and a whole lot more fun stuff.
Richard is blinded early on which marks the beginning of his journeys into the world of ESP—Levitation, Precognition, Teleportation, etc. His study of parapsychology is fueled by the elderly and in-ill-health Thomas, who believes he can be reincarnated through Richard. I must mention Koenig, Thomas' right hand man. He plain kicks arse.
Psychomech reminds me of the Mushroom experience very much. Lumley's "dream world" is robust with dark detail and character. Gives one almost a warm feeling just thinking about the black lake and black castle.
I hatesTerri and Wyatt—low-down, dog-gone, no good, back-stabb'n... BOOM! hehehe
