Death Trance
by Graham Masterton
(1986) A man's family is hideously butchered in order to teach him a business lesson he will never forget. Desperate to contact his dead family he contacts an Indonesian priest who introduces him to the death trance. But by visiting the realm of the dead he doesn't just risk his own life - but the souls of his loved ones too...By turns eerie and horrific, Death Trance is also one of Masterton's most moving novels as the reader is shown the lengths to which a bereaved person will go to contact his deceased family. Quite a journey - both physically and spiritually.
