Recenzii
Masterton's new novel is promisingly chilling in its premise. There is something about creepy children that just adds a whole new level to a horror, and it sounds like Masterton is completely going to town with that here
The characters, plot and setting work together to create a believable and enthralling supernatural thriller which kept me turning the pages from the first chapter right through to the final page. If you're a fan of British horror novels I'd encourage you to give this a try. I loved it
A cracking read
Imagine something like The Strain, but with occult vibes taking place in a sewer. Now top it all off with a police procedural, and you won't be far off... If you love horror of all sorts and want to be scared, The Children God Forgot is for you. Masterton is, well, a master of writing horror... You are in for a hell of a ride!'
