Summary: Excellent
Review: I'm french and even if my English is bad, I'd like to tell you that Mirror is, for me, the best Masterton's novel. Some others are really excellent too, but this one is particulary good. So, if you enjoyed other novels of this fantastic writer, and you didn't have read Mirror, don't wait and READ IT NOW !

Summary: Scarry scarry scarry book
Review: Masterton is my favorite writer, ever. I read this a few years ago in high school, and let me tell you, its one of his very best, and i havent been dissapointed with anything he wrote yet.
The child itself, from its werid name to how creepy it can be, is one major wacky character! And the cat-snake scene left me wondering wether i will ever be able to look at my own cat the same way again! This book kept me in suspence, and it was a smooth read, i totally recommend it to anyone who had 2 eyes and an ability to read!

Summary: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, how horrible can a book get?
Review: Mirror starts out all right, with a mysterious mirror and a little dead boy reflected inside it. But it quickly degenerates into the ridiculous, involving a plot to put together Satan's body and bring him back to life, with some gross stuff involving people cutting out their own tongues and getting devoured by Satan's penis. Sorry, but I just couldn't buy it. Maybe I was just laughing so hard that I forgot to be scared.

Summary: One of Masterton's best
Review: Mirror, a horror novel originally published in the late 80s, is one of Masterton's finest. The story is top notch, well-crafted, and well-delivered. When TOR was publishing horror novels on a monthly basis, you could always look forward to a new Masterton title at least once a year.The story centers around an fan obsessed with a child star who was murdered fifty years in the past, at the age of eight. The fan was so devoted to keeping the memory of the child star alive that he writes a musical based on the child's life. However, Hollywood has no takers for filming it. The fan later discovers that some of items belonging to the child are available for sale. He purchases a mirror, later discovering that the child is still "alive" in the mirror. Later, when things take a turn for the worse, the fan discovers the truth behind the child's presence in the mirror. Then the real terror begins... If you can find a copy of this one, it would be well worth your time to read. If you can't, pick up one of Masterton's recent novels published by Dorchester Publications under the Leisure horror line.

Summary: Brilliant, original, and nightmarish
Review: This book earned Graham Masterton a place on my bookshelf next to King, McCammon, Straub, and Simmons; the masters of horror. Mirror is a brilliant, nightmarish novel about an evil child reaching out from the netherworld through an antique mirror. Hands down, it is one of the most gripping and entertaining horror novels I've ever read. If you consider yourself a fan of horror, seek this book out. Your collection has a huge gaping hole in it until you own a copy of this book!

Summary: Quick! Take down all your mirrors!
Review: This book is one of the very few truly chilling books I've read. For me, it rates right up there with the best in horror. Character development is superb. The author creates a cast of people who could, quite literally, live next door to you - you develop an affinity with each member. You may wonder why I use the cinematographic terms... this book really draws you in, like a movie. (I'd cast someone like Ben Stiller as the male lead, and John Leguizamo as his side kick.) I watched this story, more than read it. The storyline doesn't lag once. It's written with pace, and as a commercial writer, I was impressed with the quality of his prose - the dialogue is natural, which is of paramount importance to me when I read novels. I'd love to give away the story but that'd be nasty. Suffice to say, I spend as little time as humanly possible looking in the mirror these days. It's a great read - get it if you can... if you dare.

Summary: Best of the best
Review: This was the first Graham Masterton book that I ever read and it is fantastic. The thin line between the innocent Alice adventures and the gothic horror which Masterton instills is without a doubt some of the most powerful writing ever published. The gore as always is only used to enhance the horror not overtake it, but it is the story which just makes this book the best out of all he has written. Fantastic.

Summary: Makes you never want to look in a Mirror again.....
Review: This was truly a horrific book and i loved it except for the ending and the way the sacrifice took place. I know Masterton could have come up with a better way to end it, but all in all this is a book the DEMANDS attention as it is truly an awesome book!!
