The Lucifer Child
by

Despite the title and cover, this is not a book of the Omen or Baal ilk, rather, it's more akin to test tube horror and genetic enhancements; mad scientists with too much cash and time on their hands and far too little sense to make meaningful strides for mankind.
The 'Lucifer' child, as it were, is a genetically enhanced designer baby who grew in a monkey's womb (this is 80's horror after all!) and only shows up in the book in the last third. Naturally, the child is evil incarnate with the ability to read minds and move inanimate objects. Before too long his 'family' feel the brunt of his power as the story moves into a classic good verses evil story until the bloody end.
Overall, The Lucifer Child is a decent read, which, while taking some time to get going is entertaining enough despite the formulaic approach to the horror troupes within.
