There is a lot going on in this book. Mysterious pregnancies, murderous mutant fetuses, deformed children skulking through sewers clogged with body parts. I think this is the craziest story I have read in quite some time, but I don't mean that in a bad way. Oh and there's a witch, lets not forget the witch. There are characters in this book from a previous novel "Ghost Virus" which I believe I described as gruesome gore fest of a story but you don't need to have read that to get onto the wild ride of The Children God Forgot. I am pretty good with handling gore but the graphic descriptions of what went on in the sewer had me holding my breath and trying not to suffocate.

I received an advance copy for review. ( )

I have to admit that I am a bit conflicted about this book. I really enjoyed the storyline and the idea of a horror series. On the other hand, I found something that lessened my enjoyment and made me a bit uncomfortable. I found some of the dialogue a bit racist and sexist towards minorities and to women in general. I am sure it was not intended to come across that way but it definitely did to me.
The story itself is interesting and original. I do like the idea of a horror series that continues with the same investigators. ( )

The Children God Forgot
by Graham Masterton
Pages: 326
Publisher: Head of Zeus due out February 4, 2021.
This is a book I requested from NetGalley and the publisher and the review is voluntary and are all my own opinions.
Are you ready for some really creepy horror involving deformed fetuses that, even after being aborted, can travel about in the sewers causing havoc? Angelic faces, tentacles for a body, they can travel to another woman and insert themselves! They attacks in groups, dismembering anyone in the sewer system. They also have a deadly witch that guards them, Satan's girlfriend no less! Yea, it's that kind of crazy, horror filled, keep the lights on, covers off to watch for the creepy things, and a dog at your side! (The witch is afraid of dogs!)
This is a super creepy book which I love! I love books that remind me of good, old fashioned, scary-the-pants-off-you, unpredictable, and disturbing! This is that!
This has a lot of side mysteries that are horrific and horrifying and soon they all merge into one!
You need an ominous, bloody curdling book yet one that reminds you of a late night horror flick? This is it but scarier than a movie.
Only problem I had is that the dialogue is too real and very British which for a Midwest American it was difficult to follow in places. Had to really think about how it was used to figure out the meaning. ( )
