    Graham Masterton

    Graham Masterton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1946. He worked as a newspaper reporter before taking over joint editorship of the British editions of Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazines. His debut novel, The Manitou, was published in 1976 and sold over one million copies in its first six months. It was adapted into the 1978 film starring Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Stella Stevens, Michael Ansara, and Burgess Meredith. Since then, Masterton has written over seventy-five horror novels, thrillers, and historical sagas, as well as published four collections of short stories and edited Scare Care, an anthology of horror stories for the benefit of abused children. He and his wife, Wiescka, have three sons. They live in Cork, Ireland, where Masterton continues to write.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      There is a surprising lack of horror in Demon's Door, which offers a plot akin to those found in Korean horror cinema. It's an original angle from Masterton, however there's not enough substance nor enough tension to bring it up to the author's usual standard. It's relatively short with no requirement to have read any previous Rook stories. It does offer a few genuine shock moments and is above the par of many other horror novels, just not up the usual Masterton bar.
    • 5/5
      Jim Rook is a school teacher who is in charge of a remedial class. A Korean student somehow links him to an Asian spirit who reanimates his dead cat as an advance "thank you" for tasks not yet performed. The story grabs you quick and pulls you along without too much in the way of side issues. A fast reading story and pretty interesting. I'll be reading more in this series.
