Wells of Hell: Triump-Cn16dp

Nobody does horror better than Graham Masterton. The more of his work I read, the more I become convinced of that. And even when the subject matter is unapologetically outrageous-- as it is in the case of THE WELLS OF HELL-- Masterton manages to pull it off with genuine terror and a nudge and a wink of black humor in the process... A small town in Conneticut finds an ancient evil beneath the ground. A living entity with power over water and an infectious mutation that turns people into crustaceous monsters... Masterton has fun with the idea and supports it with a credible backstory and history of ancient curses and Lovecraftian gods. Great fun, good horror, and another jewel from one of the most incredible imaginations and brilliant storytellers in horror fiction. Masterton NEVER disappoints.

I'm a great fan of Masterton's work and this book was one I really enjoyed. In this book he creates a dark, wet small town, where ancient Evils lurk in underground lakes. The heroes battle against powerful enemies who seem to come straight from Hell (and Lovecraft's imagination) and a cat named Shelley leads the way to the final confrontation. Dark, wet, scary, with a lingering stench of rotting fish. A great horror book.

This book is an excellent read. Masterson is a talented writer, and has the ability to put you right there, in the book. The wells of hell is very realistic. In fact, it's so realistic I was looking over my shoulder to make sure there wasn't someone there. This book has strong characters, and an incredibly addicting story line. This is a must read. Enjoy!

This book is great, for everything. Story, characters. It is a great read that actually makes you look around the room as you read it. What makes this book so good, is that the ending is so unfathomable, dark and original...it leaves one almost speechless. The ending makes this book. Read it.

What a great horror book. The characters suck you in and story leads you to something you would never expect. It's a great book. Lovecraft would have defintely put this book on his shelf.
