Review: THE PARIAH by Graham Masterton


"I know new something else..something terrifying...these apparitions had the power to do strange and horrible things. Not only the power, but the will."

The Pariah fulfills all your horror needs and them some; ghosts, the reanimated dead, hauntings, demonic lore, and scares a-plenty. 

Granitehead is a small coastal town with a deadly secret, one that steadily surfaces as the story progresses; deceased loved ones can be seen by their significant others in lightning flashes and quick glimpses, objects move on their own, and voices can be heard on the cold air. For John Trenton, the sight of he recently deceased wife brings a concoction of terror and elation - until a grisly murder sways his feelings firmly towards terror. 

Cold, atmospheric, and engaging. The Pariah reads like you're watching a high grade horror film; everything just works.
