The Children God Forgot by Graham Masterton

2.0

Graham Masterton remains unbeaten at body horror; the babies in this are gruesome and there are some really spine-crawling scenes involving them, some subtle, some off the charts. This was definitely my favourite part of The Children Who God Forgot - the rest fell a little flat for me, a bit too much overt exposition at the end rather than feeding the reader information piece by piece. I wasn’t at all invested in the two main characters (maybe through fault of my own as this is my first introduction to them!) and the subject matter seemed a little on the fence sometimes too. There were a few discriminatory jokes that I didn’t really feel had a place in the book as well. However this still wins points for creepiness and while I don’t always enjoy the writing, the horror is unmatched.
