Waiting on Wednesday 10/21/20
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Children God Forgot by Graham Masterton (February 4, 2021 by Head of Zeus)
There’s some great horror coming our way way next year, and in honor of #SpooktasticReads I wanted to feature a couple that I recently caught my attention. Graham Masterton is a horror writer I’ve heard of but have not had the pleasure to read yet. His forthcoming novel is part of a series following a pair of supernatural sleuths, but it appears it can be read as a standalone, and it sure doesn’t sound like it’s for the squeamish…
“A rash of strange and horrifying births sweeps through London in the new horror thriller from master of the genre Graham Masterton.
A SERIES OF STRANGE BIRTHS
A young woman is rushed to the hospital with stabbing pains. The chief surgeon performs a C-section, and delivers a catastrophically malformed foetus that is somehow alive…
A DEVASTATING ATTACK
Sewage engineer Gemma is plunged into a ghostly darkness in the tunnel where she works. She escapes, but her boss goes missing in the chaos. He is later found alive… but his legs have been severed and his eyes pulled out.
A SUPERNATURAL THREAT
DC Jerry Pardoe and DS Jamila Patel of the supernatural squad must team up once more to solve the mystery and save the city. But, if they are to succeed, first they must delve into the dark arts of witchcraft.”
The BiblioSanctum 
I’ve read good things about Masterton’s horror but like you have yet to try it. Some of it does sound intense from the blurbs. I have ebooks of Charnel House, The Manitou, and The Devil in Gray waiting for me to try.

I didn’t even know Graham Masterson was still writing! I’m pretty sure I own some of his older books 😁

Between the malformed fetus and the sewage background, I think readers need to fortify themselves before starting this one… 😉
