3.0 out of 5 stars
Another painful read from a reliable author,

Ce commentaire est de: The Doorkeepers (Mass Market Paperback)
Man, what is it with Graham Masterton and pain? He's incredibly good at devising twisted tortures. Aside from that, this book is an easy, engaging read, reliable and creative...in other words, what you would expect from this author. I wasn't especially thrilled by the ending, which seemed a little silly, but otherwise, I really enjoyed the story. I'd like to give it four stars for enjoyability, but I'm only giving it three because I hated the ending. Maybe I'm not being totally objective. OK. Three and a half.

This book is a weird twist from his normal gory, horrifying, addicting, and fun-reading books. His talent to make it as if you are there yourself is astounding. I have literally read all his books, except the first book in the ROOK series, and have been left with shivers and a great fullfilment. This book left that same feeling. I recommened this book to all who love a good scary book. Imagine if there were REALLY Doorways today.....

Truly horrifying vision of alternate history,
By abt1950 "abt1950" (usa) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Doorkeepers (Mass Market Paperback)
Graham Masterton's "The Doorkeepers" is a solid horror novel which combines several eras of British history, an alternate universe, a little folklore, a serial killer and a psychic into a potent and chilling mix. Many of the individual elements may be common motifs in genre literature, but Masteron combines them in unexpected ways.The story begins when the mutilated body of a missing woman is found floating in the Thames. Her brother, Josh, and his girlfriend, Nancy, go to London to try to unravel the mystery. What they find is even more bizarre and terrifying than the unknown serial killer they presume is respsonsible. Josh's sister has been living at an address that hasn't existed in London--at least in our London--since before World War II. With the help of a psychic and clues from a nursery rhyme, they find a doorway into a parallel London--one in which Oliver Cromwell was never defeated and the Puritans maintain a reign of religious terror. Josh and his girlfriend quickly find themselves on the run from the dreaded Hooded Men, and things get worse from there. Maybe it's just me, but I don't find much horror fiction to be truly horrifying. This book I did. Yes, there are some major leaps of incredulity that must be made in order to enjoy the book--the hero's amazing rapport with animals for one. But once that's done, the story takes on a chilling psychological reality. What Masterton accomplishes in "The Doorkeepers" is the creation of a paranoiac vision of relentless pursuit and evil.
