The Djinn

by Graham Masterton

Overview

Anna is mysterious and beautiful, so much so that clairvoyant Harry Erskine breaks propriety and asks her out to lunch at his godfather�s wake. When his godmother, Marjorie Greaves, reveals the strange behaviour of her recently-deceased husband, Max, Harry and Anna offer to investigate the strange jar that has been locked away in the turret. Harry soon learns that Anna is not all that she seems, and little can prepare him for the power of the Forty Thieves, the most potent genie in the history of Persia.

Racing against time, Harry, Anna and Professor Qualt must work together to prevent an unexpected enemy from opening the jar and unleashing the ancient and prevailing djinn on an unsuspecting world.

Graham Masterton�s terrifying 1977 novel is republished by Telos Publishing in a brand new edition, complete with an exclusive introduction by the author.

About the Author

Graham Masterton was born in Edinburgh on 16 January 1946. After finishing his state education at the Whitgift school in Croydon, he worked for the Crawley Observer as a cub reporter and in 1967 applied to work for the Daily Telegraph, but was turned down. He then went to his uncle who worked on the Evening Standard, and was turned down again due to lack of experience. A day later his girlfriend suggested trying a new magazine called Mayfair. He applied and was hired. As it turned out, he ended up doing virtually everything: writing the headlines, copy editing, typography � training that resulted in him being able to write about anything at short notice. After three years he moved over to the UK edition of Penthouse. The publishers had just started an American edition, which led to Masterton visiting New York on a regular basis, getting to know the American publishers. With the support of those publishers he started writing sex instruction books. In 1975 Masterton turned to horror. His first novel was The Manitou, and he followed that success with a stream of further titles. In the �80s he diversified into writing historical sagas, thrillers, even movie tie-ins. Nowadays, he regularly contributes creative and instructive articles to magazines, and short stories to international anthologies and is still writing novels.
