This was the 1st Graham Masterton book I have read and what a brilliant introduction!
This was a very gory book, and quite scary to read late at night if you are on your own.The main character is a homicide policeman called Decker, his girlfriend has been murdered and in his job he is investigating a series of very strange murders, on the surface it looks like an invisible man has been going round murdering different people. The descriptions of the murders are really quite graphic so be prepared for that, it certainly made me gasp in horror.
The murderer has a hidden agenda which unfolds towards the end of the book, the only person who seems to be able to see the murderer is the down syndrome girl who is extremeley sensitive and refers to him as the 'so-scary man'.
I found the fact that the invisible man murdering people quite bizarre and could not get my head round it even though I enjoyed it very much, as in I have read more of Graham Masterton's books but, this one still remains my favourite. I since discovered that this book is based on Santeria (similar to Voodoo but, much more powerful).
I found the intervention of The Queen of Richmond not a terribly exciting part of the book, although it is very much a part of the whole story there were parts of that I got bored with even that said I really think this was a brilliant book scary and gory which I love!!

We picked up a copy of this in a scond hand book shop and really enjoyed it. So much so that we loaned it to a friend who "mislayed" it. Alwyas the case when it is a book you want to reread! Hence the purchase.

An invisible slasher is on the loose in a small American town, carving up its victims in the very best style of Masterton. Detectives Hicks and Decker are assigned to try to make sense of the growing body count, only to be draw into a world of unspeakable horror and dark magic. The only ally they have, appears to be that of a little girl who has Downs syndrome, she is the only one able to see the "So-Scary Man" as she calls him.
This is a good read and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the macabre and gruesome.

One of Mastertons best, a very violent page turner.

The jury is still out!
Hmm.
Not his best, compared to the likes of Mirror, Pariah, Black Angel and Charnel House.
Not his worst though either. Just somewhere in between. Read more
