5.0 out of 5 stars Wild horror-fantasy chiller., December 19, 2001

I've been on a Masterton kick for the past couple of months and recently reread this gem after many years...A group of strangers come together at the scene of a gruesome death. A nude woman is found on the beach, her stomach writhing with freakish, bloodthirsty eels. The strangers soon learn that their meeting is more like fate and what they have witnessed is the birth of the "nightspawn", the brood of an ancient demon that lives in the nightmares of humanity. The demon is on the verge of invading the waking world and the group is enlisted by a strange, angel-like creature that tells them they are the living inheritors to the legacy of the "night warriors", a group who can leave their bodies and move through the world of men's dreams to fight the demon... Masterton has one of the most amazing imaginations in all of horror fiction and this first in a trilogy (where nearly all of the books stand-alone,) is a gruesome thrill-ride. It has some of the most grotesque and memorable scenes in all of horror fiction. There's a scene where a housewife gives birth to more of the nightspawn and it is one of the bloodiest and most outrageous scenes I've ever read. I was gasping out loud as I read it. For Masterton fans and horror fans, this book is a must. The more of his work I read, the more I'm beginning to think that he is one of the best horror writers working today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, mediocre author, July 7, 2007

This review is from: Night Warriors (Death) (Mass Market Paperback)

Like many of Masterton's works, this book has a solid and intriguing concept behind it: Ordinary individuals, by way of shared lucid dreaming, battle nightmare-fiends before the creatures can become all too real.

I was told, however, that fans of Charles de Lint would enjoy Graham Masterton just as much. This wasn't the case. Masterton's writing is somehow stilted, and he often seems to go for gratuitous splatter factor in lieu of plot development.

But at least one can't fault his sick, twisted, and quite fertile imagination...

I have lots of Grahams' books....In my opinion, he's a horror writer in a genre all of his own! Now I LOVE Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Clive Barker, Thomas Harris and many others, but -I go to bed with Graham Masterton! When I don't want to sleep, -when I want an intelligent scare-the-crap-out-of-you story that lingers and keeps coming back to haunt you over and over again, any one of Graham Mastertons' books will surfice . He's simply the greatest of them all!
