From Graham: 'Something that struck me today when I saw the news that the flesh-eating bacteria I have been writing about is actually beginning to kill people.

'I am beginning to believe that I have supernatural powers of prediction. Not only did I predict rigged elections in America in The Sweetman Curve back in 1979, and The Hell Candidate in 1980, but I also predicted Covid with Plague (1977) and a drought in California with Drought (2014). In my political thriller Sacrifice (1985) I predicted that the United States would give up on protecting Europe in favour of detente with Russia.

'Two months ago I started writing a new horror novel which features a flesh-eating bacteria based on the real bacteria vibrio vulnificus. It is found in warm waters and can enter your body through cuts or scratches and rapidly start to devour you, bringing on septic shock and death. A few weeks after I started this novel, it was announced that 23 people in Louisiana have been infected this year by vibrio vulnificus and that seven of them have already died. Maybe I should start writing happy novels in which the worst thing that happens to my characters is that they drop their wedding cake.'

From Graham: 'Coming out in September, the Polish edition of The Doorkeepers, with coloured edges. And this is the blurb:

Not every door leads home. Some lead straight to hell!

When Julia Winward's brutally mutilated body is recovered from the murky waters of the Thames, her brother Joshua arrives in London to uncover the truth behind his sister's mysterious death. However, it quickly becomes clear that nothing adds up – Julia's address has been missing since World War II, and the company she worked for closed decades earlier. Each clue leads deeper into a labyrinth of secrets that should not be revealed.

The Doorkeepers is one of Graham Masterton's most inventive horror novels – a sultry, brutal, and mesmerizing tale of parallel worlds that should never have been opened. The author masterfully blends horror, thriller, and fantasy, creating a story filled with suspense, macabre imagery, and a constant sense of menace. This is a novel for those who enjoy horror that not only terrifies but also draws them into a reality from which there is no safe return.'

From Graham: '"Boneless" - the vampire story by me and Karolina Mogielska which was published recently in the Blood Red Edition of The Horror Collection by KJK Publishing - is soon to be published by Lingua Mortis in Poland as "Noclegi U Marty (Overnight Staty at Marta's". The blurb for it says:

In a forgotten part of the city there is a hotel, where those the world would prefer to forget go to. Homeless, alcoholics, dealers, people with no future. Everyone knows that it's better to give this place with a wide berth - even the police look away.

When one of the residents disappears without a trace, and screams begin to spread through the hotel walls, a few ordinary people try to find out the truth. They quickly discover that Marta's Accommodation is not just an ordinary accommodation, but a gateway to something much older and more hungry than human violence.

Marta's Overnight is a dark tale about a place where evil has found its perfect hiding place - where no one asks questions and the victims have no voice. Horror set in the brutal everyday life, where the line between legend and reality dissolves like a shadow outside the door.

Not everyone who enters, gets out. Not everyone who disappears will be noticed.'
