Disadvantages: makes you wonder whats in the cavities!

Jack Reed decided to convert an old gothic building," The Oaks" into an upmarket country club but unknown to him was its horrific past.
Sixty years before, The Oaks, was an asylum, home to crazed psychopaths -all of them disappeared without a trace. Quintus Miller the leader, found a way of disappearing by using " earth magic" as the house was built on a cross road of ley lines. Earth magic was practised by Druids for good, but Quintus had found another use... to escape his prison.

Something went very wrong and Quintus and his crazed colleagues where trapped within a maze of the walls. Now the empty house echoes with the screams of the inmates of The oaks, trapped inside the bricks ,concrete and plaster they had to find a way out.. and that's where Jack comes into play. Quintus lures Jacks son into the walls and insists that Jack will help set them free or his son will die..

I read this whilst on holiday last year and its very good. I have read a few Graham Masterton books and this is a good example of his writing skills. The style of writing is very similar to that of James Herbert. Graham Masterton has a very unique way of describing the situations that happen in great detail and its gets you thinking about the book, even if you have put it down for a while to read it later.

The concept of the book, of people who are at one with the bricks and plaster that make up the walls, is spine chilling. Just imagine, you have a lots of power, you could do anything, but you where restricted in the fact that you were part of the walls. You could torture people, make people one with the walls and capture them and this is exactly what Quintus Miller did, and more.

This book not only gets the hairs of your neck stand on end, but makes you wonder what's really included in the walls of your house!
