Customer Reviews

Griz

This author never fails to disappoint. The main character, Harry Erskine has been used in several novels by this author with great success. The plot and storyline are excellent and the interaction between the characters is at times brimming with action or comical situations. There are plots and sub-plots and twists and turns in this novel. The author makes excellent use of ancient middle eastern folk lore and history to weave this story together. An enjoyable read.

ERSKINE RIDES AGAIN

Love this work. Harry Erskine part three, and it works superbly. Continuing in the vein of the Standard Masterton Spooky thriller, it pays off and delivers as only Masterton can. If only more Masterton works were made into movies... Masterton Delivers in droves.

Semi-sequel to "The Manitou" is ignored, but isn't bad

One of the first horror novels Masterton published following the success of "The Manitou," it shares with that book the same hero/narrator, cynical mystic Harry Erskine. However, Masterton weirdly downplays the connection to "The Manitou," going so far as to have Harry be skeptical in the face of Arab demons (the Forty-Seven Stealers of Life, a splendidly nasty array of critters). At the same time, there are a couple of discreet reminders that this is the same character who faced the wonder-worker Misquamacus in the prior novel (I especially liked the reference to the old vases at the end--remember he inherited them from one of his clients whom Misquamacus got to throw herself down the stairs?). Anyway, the characters are few (this is a much smaller-scale novel than most of his later ones), but they are fun, and Masterton's quirky sense of humor is usually at its best when expressed through the Harry Erskine character. Definitely worth a look.

Sorry, you only sell. Be a Face of brokers!

I have the jar in which you claim to contain the Djinn.Ooooooops!I have no face. It hurt!He sliced it off. I and Harry Erskine will follow, until we meet with my father, who draws the pants off Bernie Wrig... Sorry, he did not "draw the pants of Berni" , he just draws better. Beware WALKERS. They are your Sleepless Prey.

Djinn whats a Djinn? Ask Wes.

This was a story written 20 years ago (entitled The Djinn, by Him, Graham Masterton), and it is now a modern Wes Crappen (produced) stroy. Please check out the original story, if you can find it.
