 What are others reading??? August 15, 2008
Dj Dixon (Billingham Teesside England)
I am a huge GM fan and have been since being ooohhh about 13 and yes, some of his books leave me feeling "oh mmm right, what was that all about" and others "WHOA what a ride". This one......... well, I have to admit that about 3/4 of the way through the book I was feeling a little 'When is this going to get started' but the twist on the last page was like hitting a brick wall. I was like....."OMG, HE CANNOT DO THAT!!!"
Not a brilliant book, and yes, some people may not like to be made aware that children are used and abused in this dispicable world, but it does happen and personally I think that GM dealt with writing about it very very well. All in all a canny little read to fill in a few hours till getting your teeth into his next grim novel.

Oh boy! How to write a book in a week. Very light weight book with some gratuitous porn thrown in. This is one of the poorest masterton novels I have read and disappointed is an understatement.

Of late Masterton is turning out light reads, both in terms of horror and in genre. There are still American Indian references, yet the usual bone-chilling terror is not present. This said however, Unspeakable does not follow any expected paths; it's unpredictable, wily and at times quite shocking. When the central protagonist of the tale is deaf, you should know that Masterton is using that a vehicle to create scenarios that will unnerve you, and he does this, not consistently, but enough to remind you that he has the book has the potential to be nasty if it needed to be. That is the crux. Unspeakable is not a horror book, yet a dark and unsettling tale of the horror in our world, the danger we pose to our children , and with only a faint supernatural background. It'll grab your interest, and fill a few hours (it's only a short book) and is a worthy addition to your Masterton library, but it's not strictly horror.

The whole book goes along quite nicely, easy to read and a straightforward plot line. There are a few red herrings and wolves in sheep clothing but over all a great read. Then the last twenty pages is like being on a runaway train and the last page is when you finally hit something with a very large bump. Never has a book left me actually thinking what the hell happened there?
I hope this is Masterton back after his long sabbatical with kiddie horror. I really miss books like Tengu and Charnel House. Now off to read Manitou Blood, wonder what this will end with?

mmmmmmmm,sorry mister masterton but if this is the standard of your work to come,I think I'll give up now.I've been a fan of Graham Masterton for a long time now and he's written some stunning books and I have to admit,this is the first time I've finsished one of his novels and been dissappointed,not just dissapointed,I was glad to have finsished it.It's filled with mistakes,including some real big ones,my favourite was the book is about a child welfare officer who is deaf,completely,totally deaf.The books goes to great pains to explain this and then in at least two places masterton describes the characted as having heard noises,one time when she came to open her apartment door she heard laughter coming from inside.My other gripe is that this book pretends to be a horror story but spends most of it's time describing terrible things done to children,now I know the main character is a child welfare officer but the real nitty gritty and extremity this book goes to,well I could have done without.And then you get to the end and it's the most depressing ending to a book ever you've got the full package.This book was unpleasant to read and was unpleasant to finish,with the supernatural aspect described on the cover barely dealt with and thrown away to make room for more skin crawl inducing descriptions.Do yourself a favour and give this one an enormous berth.
