Tour/Review: THE CHILDREN GOD FORGOT by Graham Masterson

 

Review: 5 Stars

I've been a fan of Graham Masterton for decades and am delighted at this continuation of the intriguing police partnership of London police officers Detective Sergeant Jamila Patel and the rougher-quality Detective Constable Jerry Pardoe, first paired in GHOST VIRUS [2018]. Although the two officers are assigned to different stations,  they share a reputation as capable of deciphering "the weird," and the current set of tragedies can't get much more weird. Say goodbye to practicality and logic. This is Weird,  this is Supernatural, this is seriously over-the-top. 

Strong Caution: The Horror contained here is Extreme,  including a substantial amount of Body Horror. Much of the violence is perpetrated on women and girls,  who are targeted due to the functions of the human reproductive system. Violence is also perpetrated against males, and there are references to prior episodes of violence against women and men, and to child fatalities.  Abortion is a significant issue here as are congenital birth defects, stillbirth and miscarriage,  and thalidomide.  So sensitive readers,  be aware.
