Summary

A Native American demon is unearthed in the present day. Original, disturbing and utterly terrifying, this is the new stand-alone from master of horror, and author of The Manitou, Graham Masterton.

Nemo Frisby used to be a detective. Now he drives an Uber between billionaire mansions in California. But he never lost the nose for the case - and when his housecleaner, Trinity Fox, discovers a young woman lying dead in her neighbourhood, she persuades him to help her prove it wasn't suicide.

Their investigation leads them to the Bel Air home of a wealthy movie producer, who built his mansion over a Native American burial site. Ancient mythology tells of a demon who, if unearthed, can imbue evil men with terrible power. But only if the demon is fed by the sacrifice of innocent lives....

Graham Masterton is a true master of his genre, famous for his original, disturbing and utterly terrifying novels. The Soul Stealer will stand alongside The Manitou as one of horror's most chilling explorations of the native magic of the ancients.

Masterful Masterton

As is usual from Mr Masterton, this book was a thrilling mix of the supernatural and crime. I haven't found any other author who can blend the two together so well, with characters so accepting of strange paranormal incidents yet reacting in a serious way. For me, it's what makes his books so readable and horror-fying! Although some of his plots are "way out there", they never veer into comedy territory. Which means we get to read about the most outlandish circumstances with characters who react authentically - not in a way a comedy character would (think Shaun of the Dead or Jennifer's Body. Film examples but you get the gist!)
No issue with the narrator either - good reader, not too slow or fast, and doesn't overact. Perfect!

Dude, you didn’t wrap it up!
It was good but the ending, well, was rubbish 😬

A brilliant book, really well narrated. a typical Graham Masteton, with its fair share of gore, sex, and violence sp very clever.

What an outstanding story

That was one of the most horrific stories I have listened to but I enjoyed every minute. What an imagination the writer must have. I hope he writes more in that vein

OK at best.

Bad narration with an ok story. I expected more from Mr Masterton. Not a patch on Manitou.

Neo and Trinity? Seriously??

I couldn't get over the names of the two protagonists, nobody mentions the Matrix so is this a little private joke? Found it very distracting every time their names were mentioned.

Couldn't finish - 0 stars

Just got worse and worse. Story was ok at first but then just wandered into complete unbelievable rubbish and the scenes that were meant to be gory became comical and just a set of rich men raping and torturing young girls. Steer clear.

Not great

Got this sorry for free, so cannot complain so much. The story is not credible. Maybe the author should have researched a bit more on Native American traditions to make it more tangible and tasteful. Narrator does not do accent so well. I did not listent the story to the end because I was too bored.

Disappointing

A promising start. Quickly deteriorated into cliche and caricature. Still not as bad as James Herbert. Narration was OK.

Not great

Personally I feel G.M is a one book wonder, the one book being Mirror. I felt this story was more a sleazy b movie thriller genre rather than horror from the constant objectification of young women, the smutty sexual assault scenes and the cliché. unlikeable characters. I'm starting to wonder if any "horror" stories written by GM doesn't contain sexual objectification of women and sexual content. Although I'm aware that's part and parcel of his Benny Hill generation.
