Disturbing. Original. Terrifying. The 'master of horror' is back with the chilling tale of what lurks in the walls of an abandoned hospital. In this abandoned hospital, pain lives on... and it wants revenge. St Philomena's military hospital has been abandoned for over three years. Now Lilian Chesterfield, who works for one of the most successful building companies in England, is in charge of developing it into a luxury housing complex. But as soon as she and her colleagues start work in the Jacobean-style mansion, their dream turns into a nightmare. They hear screaming from wards full of empty beds. They hear doors slamming and find cutlery scattered over the kitchen floor. Then they see faces peering at them from the mullioned windows. Lilian is pragmatic – she doesn't believe in the supernatural. But just when she's put her mind at rest by scouring the mansion from top to bottom and finding nothing, a former patient of St Philomena's arrives with a warning. The hospital is haunted. And it is haunted by something a thousand times more terrifying than ghosts... Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, The Shining and The Woman in Black. 'Grisly, relentlessly chilling' Science Fiction Chronicle Praise for Graham Masterton: 'One of Britain's finest horror writers' Daily Mail 'A true master of horror' James Herbert 'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time' Peter James 'God, he's good' Stephen King

I hadn't read a Graham Masterson in a while and I'd really liked his previous work that I read. However, this one not so much. I know this is harsh but I'm glad I borrowed this from the library instead of buying it so I don't feel like anything was wasted except my time.
