Customer Reviews

Creepy, in a sleepless night way.

The Devils of D-Day First off, I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewers. I first read this Masterton book back in 1981 and have not read it since, lost it somewhere along the way. It still gives me the, "willies", when I think about it. A first class, religious, good vs. evil story told very well. As the book has been out for about 30 years, I think that I can safely quote a line from it that still gives me chills and hopefully not spoil it for someone. Question: "You're not Father Anton! Where's Father Anton? What have you done with Father Anton?". Answer: "You're almost standing in him". Again, I have not read the book in nearly 30 years and that part still gives me chills. I may not have it exactly correct but I'm sure that the imagery has been conveyed. A truly enjoyably, frightful book, and that's a good thing. First class and highly recommended, if your into sleepless night horrors! Spence the Elder "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc" -M. Addams-

A Powerhouse from start to Finish

This is one of the earlier Masterton Books I have read, and it stayed with me ever since I read it. A Surveyor working in France, finds a tank with an entity who is a member of a class of demon supposedly used in world war 2. The Demon coerces the surveyor/cartographer into helping it escape and joins its other associates, and a whole barrage of supernatural events ensue, with the demon tidying up after each little event. First class writing, and would have made a great film. Such a pity that people still just rip off Masterton's work ( unless he options rights on the qt); anyway, this is a great read, and will make you keep the light on Loooong after you finish. ENJOY

Master Class

This is one of many Masterton books that are just brilliant. I have a collection of paperback versions of Masterton's works, and I have been consistently impressed by his ability to scare. If some enterprising person would just option Masterton's works, we might find a breed of Horror film that surpassed many works. From the initial discovery of the demons, through the moves to the denoument of this tale, this book delivers chills in the best possible way. So few writers now-a-days can even come close to Masterton's first person delivery. I hope that Masterton's older works will eventually get re-printed in hard-back, since they are worth keeping. This book, along with WELLS OF HELL, and TENGU, are but one of a few that can deliver a few sleepless nights. Sheer magical fun from the greatest modern horror writer, bar none.

The scariest book I've ever read!

This book is a little old now as I read it years ago. I can wholeheartedly say that this is the ONLY book that scared me enough to prevent me from switching the light off! Masterton is the king of describing events in such detail that they're almost believable. Where does he get his ideas from! Does any other author come close? James Herbert is a pretty close second. King and Koontz are in Division two by comparison.

the best horror book in the world

this book is the best in all the world. The terror is very strong, and the imagination of Graham Masterton is incredible. It's a must and everybody MUST read it. That's all, because my english isn't very good. Oh, i forgot : For me, Graham Masterton is better than Stephen King , Dean Koontz, ...
