Necroscope
by Brian Lumley
Harry can speak to the dead. Dragosani can pull the last secrets from corpses. Their respective talents have set them on a collision course that will shake the foundations of heaven!
This is the best kind of pulp there is: completely and utterly ridiculous fun, with just enough realism to keep the reader hooked. I jokingly described it to my brother as "The X-men go to Hogwarts" and it's not far off the mark; Necroscope is nothing less than a sci-fi horror fantasy time travel mystery wrapped inside a cold war thriller. All the best parts of 80's pulp follow along as well: gratuitousness in every aspect.
Detailed and interesting characters (except, perhaps, for Harry, as he is generally one note for most of the book) flesh out this world of monsters, witches, ghouls, zombies, and psychics. A whirlwind read top to bottom; better hope the edge of your seat is comfortable.
