The 13th ReviewWith perhaps his most intense offering yet, Stoker Award winning author John Everson has carved out yet another twisted tale of lust-spiced, bloody mayhem. In a narrative that pays homage to eighties slasher flicks but is also reminiscent of an Edward Lee gore-fest, Everson lays down a gruesome adventure. Bloody horror is about to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting town, driven by two masterminds whose desire for power is only eclipsed by the ancient evil they've conjured.
After failing to make the Olympic biking team, David Shale's not interested in a "normal" summer. Training is his focus, and the twisting, mountainous forest trails surrounding the small town of Castle Point is all he wants to follow. However, when David goes out one night, he encounters a bold, invigorating young woman named Brenda. Chemistry sparks between them and the beer flows, but tired from his training, David passes out at the bar. When he wakes, Brenda has gone, in David's mind just another "one that got away".
David's future isn't Olympic bound, however, as something insidious spreads through town. Women in the area are disappearing, and coincidentally, Castle House Lodge - a previously abandoned resort with a dark history - has reopened for business as a "private asylum for pregnant women." Christy Sorensen is one of the newest faces in the Castle Point police department, but even so, she's certain something's terrible wrong at the asylum.
Eventually she and David join forces, as David becomes convinced that Brenda, a woman he could've loved, is trapped with other doomed women in the resort. Can they rescue her and any others in time? Or, will they be drowned in a bloody flood of truly "biblical" proportions?
Though there isn't just one character that's perhaps as strongly written as reporter Joe Kieran, ("Covenant", "Sacrifice"), the overall cast of "The 13th" is balanced, perhaps Everson's strongest assembly of entertaining characters yet. Also, in a tale of blood sacrifice and demonic lust, Everson hits buried, quieter fears: that of hidden darkness in those thought closest. Hitting consistently on subtle terrors such as this is what will continue to carry Everson's career forward.The 13th Overview

Death Mask Review
There are lots of terms that can be used to describe a good horror novel: suspenseful, thrilling, twisted, et cetera. One term that I don't use with many such novels is clever. Yes, they may be well-written, but the plots are often relatively straightforward. Death Mask by Graham Masterton is not only better than the average horror novel, it is more clever than the average one as well.
The heroines of the story are Molly Sawyer and her mother-in-law Sissy. "Heroine" is the proper word: they are both nice, courageous people with no grand emotional baggage to weigh them down. Sissy has psychic talents, primarily used through her tarot cards, and as the story opens, she is foreseeing some bad things. Molly is an artist who every now-and-then does sketch work for the police. This happens after a brutal attack in an elevator of an old Cincinnati skyscraper leaves one man dead and a woman injured.
The wounded woman gives Molly a description of a large and freakish man whose sunburnt visage soon gives him the name of the Red Mask killer. This killer is motivated by revenge, though for what is unclear: whatever the reason, he's not about to stop killing, and he will prove extremely elusive. All this is bad enough, but Sissy and Molly have come to a realization: Molly's artwork is coming off the page and into real life, including her two Red Mask sketches, which means that there isn't one killer but three.
In a way, Death Mask is like Masterton's previous novel, The 5th Witch, which also had police pursuing - and being completely overwhelmed by - supernatural forces, and which depend, to some extent, on a whiter form of witchcraft to offer hope of stopping these forces. Even with these vague similarities, however, Death Mask is original enough, and more importantly, is a really fun read.Death Mask Overview
