PSYCHOSIS…
It started off as a great party – just eight of them in a ski-lodge in upstate New York. But then the last guest, Frannie, arrived. There was something wrong with Frannie’s hair. And something very wrong with his eyes. And what he did to three of the girls was too hideous for description….
That was just the start. After that, things began to happen all over New York – ugly things: psychosis, insanity, murder – and no one could find an explanation. The police were helpless – because they didn’t know that behind all the grisly happenings lay a single, uncontrollable horror. A horror called
BLUE SUNSHINE…

Graham Masterton – The Devils Of D-Day (Sphere, 1979)

In an attempt to uncover the truth behind the devastating mayhem wrecked by 13 black tanks erupting through enemy lines in 1944, one man sets out for Normandy – and unwittingly releases an age-old horror on modern-day civilisation.

A novel full of the author’s favourite things: demons, angels, myths, history and Nazis. Considering its length (180 pages) it’s surprisingly gripping and well written. The final confrontation between good and evil is a stunner.
