Ahh, Seventies Horror. And those annoying cameo covers.

Masterson (1946 - ) wrote The Djinn (1977) as part of the Harry Erskine
series, which started with The Manitou in 1977. He was originally the
editor of the British edition of Penthouse, as his long career of writing tales
with “visceral sex and horror” and crime, as well as a series of “sex
instruction books” attest to. I believe Mike bought this book, though I, at
least, read it too. It was not particularly well written but had the same trashy
combo of the occult and gritty sex and violence that lured in our raging
adolescent transgressive instincts. I don’t think it was in our possession long
into the Eighties. Masterson has received several awards (including the Edgar)
and continues to produce.
