Old style Masterton at his finest ! This book is not only a rollercoaster state hopping adventure but also a book examining the strained bonds between father and son.If you love the gorey aspect of Mastertons work then Ritual will not fail you. The horror is spaced out between a story of love and confusion, which is a good thing as the reader will need said respite in order to regain ones composure following the escalating tale of true horror.
Its true "edge of your seat" stuff that will have you willing the carnage to end. I was unable to put it down and although i certainly managed to turn the bedside lamp off when I stopped reading, I still vowed that I would never eat meat again !

This is the best Masterton I've read so far. Very gripping. Theres nothing showy or pretentious here - it's just a great page turner that made me feel sick in several parts and quite faint at it's crescendo. I'm not squeamish either!

This is the second Graham Masterton book I have read. I was really looking forward to it, but was actually disappointed. While it is so gruesome it actually makes you feel sick which is pretty impressive, I found it so unrealistic. When I tried to get in the right frame of mind it actually just made me laugh. I also thought that the main character Charlie, is actually quite a weak character and I really was not able to empathise with him at all. It is worth reading, but not as good as Family Portrait!

Not your usual Masterton
I'd have prefered to give this 3 and a half if I could have.
Those who have read at least a handful of Masterton books by now should know what to expect from him. Read more

totally gruesome
This book builds up fairly slowly but is so gruesome in the end I had to force myself to turn the page to find out what happened next. Not for the faint hearted. Read more

Horror at its best
A fantastic story of unimaginable horror that will leave you cold with fright. The way Masterton tells it makes it feel very real, and in many cases the stories are based on real... Read more
