Not as good as "Walkers", in my humble opinion, but worth the read. A bit too much was wrapped up in "earthly affairs" so to speak. I guess I was expecting a bit more death trance trips and monsters, but most of the book stays within our own realm and the dramas surrounding the lead character's life. Worth the read, written beautifully (as always with Masterton), but I've rested fhe book in its home on my shelf and I'm looking forward to other reads he has to offer. Maybe others will enjoy this more than me.

Imagine not saying goodbye to your loved ones before somthing bad happens to them and then you get the chance to say bye....sort of. This book is scary, gory, and downright disturbing...which is Great! The horror of realizing what has happened and what one will do to get back at a hated person is amazing. IF you want to be scared bad, and do not mind reading up on gory stuff, this book is for you. Just make sure you have a light on, the windows are closed a machette under your chair! Graham Masterton, once again, has proven himself in this book to be above and beyond all mortal horror writers! It is really sad that the U.S. do not recognize him much (do not publish his out of print books) and would rather recognize such writers as Stephin King.
Fantastic, but not for the faint-hearted

I just finished reading "Death Trance," and I have to agree with the three other reviews already posted--this book is one heck of a thrill ride. I read a lot of horror fiction--some of it's OK, some of it can be pretty lame, but sometimes a book sticks out and really draws me in. "Death Trance" is one of those books. While not giving any of the story line away, I will say that those who are faint-hearted may wish to avoid this book because of the extreme violence depicted toward the beginning. However, if you can make it through those gruesome scenes, "Death Trance" is far more tame on the "gross-out" factor than other Masterton books out there. For those of you who like crime novels and are looking for something a little different, you may wish to check this book out--it has a mystery, a very twisted criminal conspiracy, and more. Enjoy!
One of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time

Randolph Clare, owner of a cotten manufacturer finds trouble with his competition when they decide enough is enough! This is a great horror book to read. Though I would say it is kind of a thriller mixed in with horror. Not what you would expect from the MASTER of gore, but definitly something interesting to read.I recommed this book to all horror lovers who love a little thriller mixed in.
