Battle is engaged between the mercenaries and an inhuman force, and a sole survivor escapes with his objective. The novel begins in the desolate hills of Saudi Arabia in 1978, as a covert special ops mission goes violently awry. Ghouls is technically not his first novel, but it is his first major novel and is characteristic of his later works though not quite as graphic. My first reread was Seth Pfefferle’s Stickman, some time ago my second is Edward Lee’s Ghouls (1988):Įdward Lee is known as one of the most “hardcore” horror authors writing today, combining graphic sex and violence with supernatural horror. A lot of pretty good books have come and gone, and deserve at least a mention. After starting the blog, though, I decided to hunt down and reread those novels which stayed with me through the years. In fact, I gave up on reading horror for a number of years due to my frustration. When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of horror novels, some good, many very bad.
