About this ebook
In Japanese mythology, the Tengu is a living force of evil that infects its followers with the mad strength of the beserker and the capacity to survive attack from any weapon.
At the close of World War II, the Tengu was Japan's most terrifying secret weapon. Now the demon is unleashed again – this time in a diabolical plot to wreak vengeance on America for the mega-destruction of Hiroshima...
'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time' PETER JAMES.
'A true master of horror' JAMES HERBERT.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, what a downer ending by Graham Masterton. I thought that Brian Keene did a great job at creating such downer endings, and he's still better at it, but Tengu really, as the old cliche says, takes the cake here. It's still an amazing story, but with some minor characterization issues. A group of Japanese terrorists are recreating an old war experiment that allows people to be possessed by demons in an effort to make sure America remembers Hiroshima. Meanwhile, their agents are in the dark on what they plan, causing them to research their benefactor's backgrounds.
