About this ebook

Unsealing the hatch of a rusty old WWII tank will unleash a demonic nightmare in this novel by “the master of modern horror” (Library Journal).
 
Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it’s been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook.
 
Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell.
 
A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.

Ratings and reviews

The first time I read this book I was 13. My father had read it probably at least 5 times and was astounded by it. I absolutely loved the book, but more so, realized that there is so much more out there than we could possibly fathom.

I first read this back in the early 90's, it was the first Graham Masterton Book I'd read but did the job of turning Me into the diehard (lol) reader I still am today. I totally skipped over the Incantation bit and do so everytime I read it cos...nope

This book scared the piss out of me when I first read it! It's a short book but it's a great book!
