The Doorkeepers is classic Graham Masterton—dark, graphic, disturbing, and exactly why he's my favorite horror author. I laugh at reviews calling it "too disturbing." That's what horror is supposed to be. If this book offends your sensibilities, you may need to go back to being bottle-fed. Sadly, I feel the Katie Maguire series ended his incredible run of horror, but this novel proves why Masterton stands among the genre's greatest... ask me about the Katie Maguire in answer differently..
