Dreaming In Darkness eBookery complete!

Hi folks,

Sorry I've been quiet on here. Have I missed anything since Amazon took Goodreads over, or is it business as usual?

Well, I haven't been lazy, honest! Finished the eBook of the Lovecraftian novella collection DREAMING IN DARKNESS, which I wrote with Aaron J French, Jonathan Green, and John Prescott. We launched the limited edition hardback version at the World Horror Convention in New Orle Read more of this blog post »

Adrian Chamberlin said: " "One door opens and another closes. But don't forget that doors never open and close by themselves. There are people walking through them, even if there aren't always people to be seen."

A refreshing take on the age-old theme of revenge and justice ex "One door opens and another closes. But don't forget that doors never open and close by themselves. There are people walking through them, even if there aren't always people to be seen."

A refreshing take on the age-old theme of revenge and justice extracted from beyond the grave, GHOST MUSIC ticks all the right boxes for me. The protagonist, Gideon Lake, is a musician - a composer who works mainly in the commercial sector, creating jingles for advertising. However, his musical sensitivity has given him a gift he is unaware of, until Kate, a woman he believes to be married to the unpleasant neighbour in the apartment below, takes him on a journey of horror and self-discovery.

From New York to Sweden, to London and then Venice, before back to the USA, Gideon is subject to disturbing events that are as baffling as they are terrifying. It is not clear what type of hauntings he is witnessing - even if they are hauntings at all. The families he visits are secretive and wary, seeming to hide some terrible secret; later he sees them in the process of dying.

Future events? Precognition? Dopplegangers, even? His mysterious companion is of no help - she cannot tell him, she can only show him, and he must draw his own conclusions.

This "resonance" that the mysterious Kate is benefiting from is a double-edged sword, as the elderly Pearl who lives above him warns. "They covet every breath you take. They even covet the sunlight that shines into your eyes. They wants it, like Gollum wanted the ring."

The book is a compulsive read, a real page-turner which keeps its secrets right until the last few pages. This doesn't mean atmosphere is in short supply; far from it. The European locations are brilliantly evoked and are superb backdrops to the chilling visions Gideon endures, particularly the events in Sweden and Venice. There is little violence and gore, although two scenes in particular are extremely disturbing: what Gideon sees happen/about to happen/already happened to the children in Venice. Footballs and sewing - I'll say no more.

As always with a Graham Masterton book, the characters are believable, likeable (in some cases, anyway!) and well-drawn with Masterton's trademark realistic dialogue, right down to the minor characters and walk-ons.

My only gripe is that there's a bit too much exposition in the last twenty pages, but to be fair there is a lot to be resolved; it's the mystery which drives the story forward and fuels the plot, so it's only to be expected that there's a lot of information to be imparted at the end. When the secrets are revealed, you will not feel cheated, and will be glad you went along for the ride.

Highly recommended. ...more "
