Grease Monkey and Other Tales of Erotic Horror pb – PRE ORDER

CONTENT WARNING

This is a work of extreme horror and graphic erotica intended for adult readers only (18+). Proceed at your own risk.

Grease Monkey and Other Tales of Erotic Horror is a tour de force collection of some of Graham Masterton’s most acclaimed erotic horror tales.

First published as a limited edition hardback from a specialist press, this is the first mass market paperback edition of this collection which features sixteen stories (fifteen from the original collection, and one added for this edition).

Within these pages are stories which combine visceral horror with eroticism of all types, and to each and every one Masterton brings a pureness of prose and an unflinching eye for detail.

These stories are not for the faint hearted or easily offended. All present aspects of the human condition which truly call into question who the real monsters are.

Masterton’s characters descend into the darkness within their own souls and of those around them. They suffer mightily, and very few emerge unscathed from the experience.

‘The collection of erotic stories GREASE MONKEY was inspired and informed by my eight years as editor of Mayfair, Penthouse and Forum magazines,’ says Masterton. ‘During which time  had I intimate discussions with every centrefold girl about their sex lives, which gave me all the anecdotes I needed for my bestselling sex instruction books such as HOW TO DRIVE YOUR MAN WILD IN BED. I also made friends with Xavier Hollander ‘The Happy Hooker’ , Jenny Fabian ‘Groupie’ and Monique Von Cleef the Dutch Dominatrix and I was given some pretty wild ideas by each of them. I also used to give sex advice on BBC local radio and write a sex agony column for the American magazine Woman’s Own. So many of the stories in GREASE MONKEY are based on reality.’

‘As a whole the book is an addictive and utterly provocative collection of tales, each with their own stand-alone merits and underlying sleaze-factor. What’s really put on show here is the versatility of the author’s imagination, with so many vivid and twisted ideas pulled together into one publication for us to lap up in whatever obscene manner we see fit. Yes it’s strong, yes it’s gory and yes it’s sleazy. But what it’s also is a thoroughly, unashamedly and uncompromisingly good read.’ Chris Hall, DLS Reviews

‘I have only read a handful of short story collections but Grease Monkey stands head and shoulders above them. There are thrills, chills, action and subtle scares, Masterton can do it all.’ Jason Philips, Cemetery Dance Forums

‘This array of perverse stories range from the supernatural (“Bridal Suite”) to the cringeworthy (“The Jajouka Scarab”) to the bizarre (“Camelot”) to the downright deranged (“Sex Object”), there isn’t a bad story in the bunch.’ Wesley Southard

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Graham Masterton is mainly recognised for his horror novels but he has also been a prolific writer of thrillers, disaster novels and historical epics, as well as one of the world’s most influential series of sex instruction books. He became a newspaper reporter at the age of 17 and was appointed editor of Penthouse magazine at only 24. His first horror novel, The Manitou, was filmed with Tony Curtis playing the lead, and three of his short horror stories were filmed by Tony Scott for The Hunger TV series. In 2002 Graham turned his hand to crime novels and White Bones, set in Ireland, was a Kindle phenomenon, selling over 100,000 copies in a month. This has been followed by many more bestselling crime novels featuring Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire. In 2019 Graham was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Horror Writers Association. The Prix Graham Masterton for the best horror fiction in French has been awarded annually for the past ten years, and four years ago he established an award for short stories written by inmates in Polish prisons, Nagroda Grahama Mastertona ‘W Więzieniu Pisane’. He is currently working on new horror and crime novels.
