No one lives for very long in the houses they buy from Mr Vane. Neighbours complain of noises that chill the blood, and then deathly silence. Maybe... read full description

If you've read the reviews on this website before, you'll know we're die-hard fans (no pun intended) of Graham Masterton. Masterton is grossly overlooked and definitely deserves the title "King of Horror" more than Stephen King. Don't believe me? Just give his novels a try. Start out with Feast (review here: Dreamworld Book Reviews - Feast), THEN think about challenging this statement. Graham Masterton is also extremely prolific, so you'll find a horror novel that covers just about eve More...

This book, GRABS you and pulls you right in on the first page. This was a quick fast paced read. I had it done in 3 days and loved all of it. It is mysterious from every angle, lots of facts from the past and just things to really make you think. Wow could this REALLY HAPPEN? What a fantastic read. I gave this 5 stars for its story line, for its excellent writing, and holding my attention for the whole book! I loved that when someone in the book told someone else about what had already happened More...

I have not read a book that has scared me like this since 'The Shining'! I read it in one day; I could not put it down. My heart was in my throat for the last half of the book. This novel grabs you from the beginning and takes hold until the very end. Creepy, creepy book!
I cannot wait to read his other works.

This book took me awhile to get into. I wasn't ready for such simplistic writing and was a little disappointed at first. Luckily, what seemed like a book based on simple scares turned into an interesting, somewhat creepy read centered around Druidic lore. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good old-fashioned scary.

I realized too late that this book is actually meant for kids. Far too simplistic for my taste. But I imagine that youngsters might find it suitably frightening.

Wow i did not expect this from this book. I thought it was just a good old horror novel. To see that it involved druids and lore was surprising. This was an amazingly quick read due to the fact that I just had to keep reading so I could find out what the heck was going on.

I totally felt sorry for John with the way he was thrown into everything especially since it was his first job.

The storyline wasn't bad but there almost seemed like there was something missing. I don't More...

An intriguing beginning but then becomes a bit ho-hum. I've since read that this was meant as a YA book. That may explain the quick fade away.

Enjoyed this short horror novel, but it's not something to read while house hunting.

I loved this book, especially as it was based on the Druid mythology and was based in England - a lot of the Point Horror books are based our Amercian High School Students.
