The House of a Hundred Whispers: Ein Horror-Roman

Allhallows Hall – ein altes Herrenhaus am Rande des düsteren, nebelverhangenen Dartmoor. Kein Ort, an dem man freiwillig leben möchte. Dennoch entschied sich der ehemalige Direktor des örtlichen Gefängnisses genau dafür. Jetzt, da er tot ist, sollen seine Kinder das Anwesen erben.
Als die Familie eintrifft, scheint die bedrückende Atmosphäre des Moorlands in jeden Winkel des Hauses zu kriechen. Dielen knarren, der Wind pfeift durch die unheimlichen Gänge und aus den Mauern dringt ein unaufhörliches Flüstern. Und ausgerechnet an dem Morgen, an dem die Erben Allhallows Hall endgültig verlassen wollen, verschwindet der kleine Timmy spurlos. Lauert das Böse im Herzen des Hauses, oder hat es sich längst in die Seelen derer eingenistet, die es bewohnen?

Graham Masterton was born in Edinburgh in 1946. His grandfather was Thomas Thorne Baker, the eminent scientist who invented DayGlo and was the first man to transmit news photographs by wireless. After training as a newspaper reporter, Graham went on to edit the new British men's magazine Mayfair, where he encouraged William Burroughs to develop a series of scientific and philosophical articles which eventually became Burroughs' novel The Wild Boys.

At the age of 24, Graham was appointed executive editor of both Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazines. At this time he started to write a bestselling series of sex 'how-to' books including How To Drive Your Man Wild In Bed which has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. His latest, Wild Sex For New Lovers is published by Penguin Putnam in January, 2001. He is a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Woman, Woman's Own and other mass-market self-improvement magazines.

Graham Masterton's debut as a horror author began with The Manitou in 1976, a chilling tale of a Native American medicine man reborn in the present day to exact his revenge on the white man. It became an instant bestseller and was filmed with Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Burgess Meredith, Michael Ansara, Stella Stevens and Ann Sothern.

Altogether Graham has written more than a hundred novels ranging from thrillers (The Sweetman Curve, Ikon) to disaster novels (Plague, Famine) to historical sagas (Rich and Maiden Voyage - both appeared in the New York Times bestseller list). He has published four collections of short stories, Fortnight of Fear, Flights of Fear, Faces of Fear and Feelings of Fear.

He has also written horror novels for children (House of Bones, Hair-Raiser) and has just finished the fifth volume in a very popular series for young adults, Rook, based on the adventures of an idiosyncratic remedial English teacher in a Los Angeles community college who has the facility to see ghosts.

Since then Graham has published more than 35 horror novels, including Charnel House, which was awarded a Special Edgar by Mystery Writers of America; Mirror, which was awarded a Silver Medal by West Coast Review of Books; and Family Portrait, an update of Oscar Wilde's tale, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which was the only non-French winner of the prestigious Prix Julia Verlanger in France.

He and his wife Wiescka live in a Gothic Victorian mansion high above the River Lee in Cork, Ireland.
