Masterton's characterization is crudely succinct and rather Horror which are, yes, cringingly gruesome and lovingly detailed. Nothing to really talk about other than the many scenes of graphic There's noĭepth or real thought here, no overarching theme or human concern, Thing you'll like if this is the sort of thing you like. There is some bosh about ley lines, as well.Įssentially critic-proof what can I say about it? It's the sort of I don't even know if that's a real Druid myth and kinda don't care.
While it isn't close to being as much fun as that horror-fiction classic, it follows the same formula: ridiculously horrible thing happens for no good reason - oh, wait, it's some kind of ancient religious mythology! In this case, the Druid myth of earth-walkers: men whose spiritual powers allow them to walk inside the earth, inside walls, floors, glass, etc. Going by the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, Walkers seems to have a pretty good reputation in the Masterton canon, which is why I chose to make it my second novel of his after I absolutely loved The Manitou, his 1975 horror debut. Masterton's penchant for making the ridiculous seem plausible is in full effect in this violent, quick read. It is! Walls and floors are somehow horribly alive, thanks to artist Joe DeVito.
