About this listen

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.

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!

Masterful Masterton

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

Entertaining

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.

Neo and Trinity? Seriously??

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

What an outstanding story
