A new old author.

I stumbled across a new author the other day and felt the need to share my joy. First of all, the author is not new, as he has written 35 plus novels and has been published for 36 years. Graham Masterson is the real deal, however, and anyone interested in the "horror" genre should give him a try. He is the wonderful bastard child of Clive Barker and Jonathan Carroll. If you throw in a dash of James Herbert then your completed recipe is a damn fine author. As a bonus the man has a sense of humor. How can that be you say! Hell if I know, but he is able to make it work and it doesn't come off as trite. Go to your local used bookstore people, he will never be in a main stream store, get yourself a couple of copies and turn down the lights. He will entertain and scare the shit out of you at the same time. No small feat.
