Product Description
Product Description
A collection of short stories from the master of spine-chilling terror The secretary seeking a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Europe's most sophisticated city; the architect whose secret life is about to become all too public; the delighted beneficiary of a superb inheritance: all very different people trying to make the best of their ordinary lives. But all of them will turn out to have something in common when they are thrown in at the deep end in situations that will turn on its head everything they have ever taken for granted. When drowning in a puddle becomes a real danger; when an imaginary friend becomes a terrifying threat; when the gift of a lifetime turns out to have come from a formidable -and less than friendly - source: only then will the cast of characters in this deeply chilling collection of stories begin to understand what the feeling of fear really means.
About the Author
Graham Masterton (born 16th January 1946 in Edinburgh) is a British horror author. Originally editor of Mayfair and the British edition of Penthouse, Graham Masterton's first novel The Manitou was released in 1976. This novel was adapted in 1978 for the film The Manitou. Further works garnered critical acclaim, including a Special Edgar award by the Mystery Writers of America for Charnel House and a Silver Medal by the West Coast Review of Books for Mirror. He is also the only non-French winner of the prestigious Prix Julia Verlanger for his novel Family Portrait, an imaginative reworking of the Oscar Wilde novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Masterton was also the editor of Scare Care, a horror anthology published for the benefit of abused children in Europe and the USA. Masterton's novels often contain visceral sex and horror. In addition to his novels Masterton has written a number of sex instruction books, including How To Drive Your Man Wild In Bed and Wild Sex for New Lovers. A number of his novels have also been adapted into films.

Format:Hardcover
This book plays on your fears, and really asks for a personal reaction to each and every story. One from a ghost asking for help, to another ghost helping one overcome his fear of being teased at school. I personally read this book in one day. Could not put it down. 5 stars all the way.
Format:Kindle Edition
Another masterful mixture of fearsome fables and dastardly deeds by the dealer in death and the bringer of the bizarre. Many writers have tried to write short tales of terror and harrowing yarns of horror but few have enjoyed as much success as Graham Masterton.
There are currently (2012) five anthologies of anguish and evil and whereas some of the author's novels do not always hit the mark such as the lamentable 'Unspeakable, this selection of tales is yet another success. The book is like a selection box of chocolates with graveyard brown earth exteriors with blood red centres and bone white sprinkles.
