'God, it's good' STEPHEN KING
On a windswept moor, an old house guards its secrets...
The new standalone horror novel from 'a true master of horror.' All Hallows Hall is a rambling Tudor mansion on the edge of the bleak and misty Dartmoor. It is not a place many would choose to live. Yet the former Governer of Dartmoor Prison did just that. Now he's dead, and his children - long estranged - are set to inherit his estate.
But when the dead man's family come to stay, the atmosphere of the moors seems to drift into every room. Floorboards creak, secret passageways echo, and wind whistles in the house's famous priest hole. And then, on the same morning the family decide to leave All Hallows Hall and never come back, their young son Timmy disappears - from inside the house.
Does evil linger in the walls? Or is evil only ever found inside the minds of men? Praise for Graham Masterton:
'A true master of horror'
James Herbert 'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time'
Peter James 'A natural storyteller with a unique gift for turning the mundane into the terrifyingly real'
New York Journal of Books 'This is a first-class thriller with some juicy horror touches. Mystery readers who don't know the Maguire novels should change that right now'
Booklist 'One of Britain's finest horror writers'
Daily Mail

Vorwort
A Tudor mansion on the edge of Dartmoor guards the moor's secrets... The new standalone horror novel from the author of The Manitou.
Zusatztext
[A] genuine page-turner... This is a gem of a horror novel, and I am amazed that after so many novels Masterton can return from the well with such a corker. The horror legend takes the skeleton of what you might expect to find in a genre based haunted house novel but adds several extra dimensions and quirks. Great stuff'
