I took my name from the British horror writer and former British Army Royal MP, Brian Lumley's Necroscope series. It's his version of the history/legends of vampires in our world. Known as The Wamphyri in their world, some were exiled into our world via a trans-dimensional, "gate." (wormhole) His vampire stories explain why some humans have different psychic abilities. From human lie detectors, to scryers, to telepaths, and locators, all forms of ESP are derived from the original vampires coming to our prehistoric world. And these vampires are horror vampires, not that Twilight crap. They even make Bram Stoker's Dracula look timid. Anyway, when I started creating online profiles for forum boards, I needed a word that wasn't common. I chose the word wamphyri and added the 13 because, at that time, there were 13 books in his original trilogy. That's right, trilogy. His first 3 books were so popular he ended up writing many more books about the main characters that included 2 "next gen" series. So there you have it.
