Graham Masterton recommends
Slob (1987)
(Chaingang, book 1)
Rex Miller
"Terrific! Rex Miller writes like a truck-driver tailgating you at 80 mph in a Kenworth TransOrient. In Slob he induces genuine panic - making you read faster than you want to - too scared to go on, too terrified to stop."
Fire (1990)
Alan Rodgers
"With Fire, Alan Rodgers shows that he can set the whole world of horror alight. Powerful, frightening, apocalyptic."
Hateful Heart (2011)
(Vampire Gene Trilogy, book 4)
Sam Stone
"Mistress of the grisly and the glutinous."
Blood Mist (2015)
(Eve Clay, book 1)
Mark Roberts
"Dark, gripping and believable. Roberts' intimate knowledge of Liverpool makes the city into a sinister character of itself."
Glass Town (2017)
Steven Savile
"Steven Savile has the gift of making the unbelievable completely believable, and leading you willingly into an illusory world that you can touch, feel and smell... but can you trust?"
Ragman (2023)
JG Faherty
"If ever there was a cautionary tale about not robbing temples, this is it. The spiritual rage of ancient Egypt catches up with modern America in a complex, dazzling, bloodthirsty epic of demonic revenge. Hold on to your heads!"
