GRAHAM MASTERTON (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; CHARNEL HOUSE)

Masterton has written over 40 horror novels and dozens of short stories but he still seems to be a guy unknown to a lot of people. His first novel, The Manitou was adapted into a film in fairly major 1978, starring Tony Curtis, Burgess Meredith, and Susan Strasberg. Masterton' s gruesome Charnel House is a tale of an evil force living within an old house.
