Graham Masterton Short Story Collections
Als der alte Seymour Willis zu mir ins Gesundheitsamt kam, hielt ich ihn für verrückt.»Okay. Und Ihr Problem ist Lärm im Haus?«»Nicht Lärm«, sagte er sanft. »Atmen.«»Vielleicht strömt ja ein Luftzug durch Ihren Kamin? Manchmal bläst die Luft durch einen alten Schornstein herab und findet ihren Weg durch Risse in den Ziegelsteinen der Feuerstelle.«Er schüttelte den Kopf.»Hören Sie Kratzen? Füßegetrampel? Irgend so etwas?«Er schüttelte wieder den Kopf.»Es atmet, das ist alles. Wie ein Hund an einem heißen Tag. Es keucht und keucht, die ganze Nacht lang – und manchmal keucht es sogar am Tag.«
A collection of 14 horror stories from the author of Mirror, Black Angel and Prey.
Following FORTNIGHT OF FEAR a further collection of fourteen stories of horror and suspense, each set in a different country around the world. From the author of PREY.
Ten horrifying and erotic tales of sex, death and terror, together with keen critical analysis and appreciation by Ray Clark and Matt Williams, and a complete Masterton bibliography. Includes three previously unpublished stories, and two stories which have been filmed for "The Hunger" TV series: 'The Secret Shih-Tan' and 'Anais.'
The secretary seeking a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Europe's most sophisticated city; the architect whose secret life is about to become all too public; the delighted beneficiary of a superb inheritance: all very different people trying to make the best of their ordinary lives. But all of them will turn out to have something in common when they are thrown in at the deep end in situations that will turn on its head everything they have ever taken for granted. When drowning in a puddle becomes a real danger; when an imaginary friend becomes a terrifying threat; when the gift of a lifetime turns out to have come from a formidable -- and less than friendly -- source: only then will the cast of characters in this deeply chilling collection of stories really begin to understand what the feeling of fear really means.
A gala of gore from the “master of modern horror” (Library Journal) Award-winning horror writer and master of the macabre, Graham Masterton presents a blood-curdling array of treats: twelve stories of terror celebrating the bizarre and grotesque, guaranteed to quicken the pulse. Marvel at the mirror dug up in secret and better off buried . . . Thrill at a pair of lovers, whose promises to each other lead them down a disturbing path. Observe the haunted house . . . Come closer, dear reader – the hour of the festival is upon us . . .
