The Dark

Advantages: Herbert at his best
Disadvantages: None

...similar in some ways to The Fog, i.e, the majority of people go mad with only a few people not succumbing who are left to save the world from evil.

The story, as always, sees a main male character by the name of Chris Bishop who is a cynical ghost hunter (much in the mode of David Ash of the Haunted/Ghosts of Sleath) sent to investigate the strange goings on in a quiet suburban house.

As usual with Herbert there is plenty ...
...to the plot. There are several excellent scenes which really grip you and have you frantically turning the pages over to get to the next line, the one I really enjoyed was the football crowd chapter. Having experienced first hand being part of such crowds (albeit with not so violent results) at football grounds I could really associate with the atmosphere that Herbert captures so authentically. In fact I enjoyed that bit so much I actually went back ... more

Typically Herbert

Advantages: Good story, great description of characters
Disadvantages: None

...I consider him to be the best British horror writer around. So finding myself with some spare time I decided to pick up this novel again. The intro on the back of the novel gives you a slight taste of whats to come without giving anything away. The introduction and 1st chapter appear to be more like several intros, not quite setting the story but again just dropping hints. The main character is Chris Bishop, a sceptical 'ghosr hunter' who aim ...
...Jessica and Jacob Kulek of the Research Institute of Parapsychological Study to talk about an incident at a house called Beechwood where Bishop had encountered some pretty gruesome happenings and where a cult had apparently been carrying on some pretty deviant activity. The main body of the story centres around Beechwood and Willow Rd where it is situated and Bishop and Jessica go off to investigate. Unexplainable and shocking events are still happening ...

This has to be my favourite James Herbert book!

Advantages: Could read again and again
Disadvantages: Not a book for the young

This was the second ever James Herbert book I read and I am so glad that I did! I was able to read this book in a relatively short period of time as I was so addicted to it and really just couldn't put it down for too long. The story line was really gripping and I actually found myself really getting into the characters lives too! Its a book that you must pay attention to, I don't feel its a book you can just pick up and put down when you feel like ...
...the story if you did this. This was such a pleasure to read and I would definately read it again! I feel it would make a pretty awesome movie! James Herbert's attention to character detail is amazing, you can really feel yourself imaging the character in that situation and seeing how they look and act. This book could be read again and again! ...

Scare youyr pants off stuff

Advantages: Brilliant scare
Disadvantages: You'll never want to turn the lights off again

You'll never turn the lights off again!!! If you are a true horror lover, then this is the best one to read, you will never look at shadows the same way again. In true Herbert style this one really does keep you on the edge of your seat. Children that set fire to their parents, in mates killing attendents. the whole human race going nuts over the dark. If the dark was an entity would it really be this bad, I hope not. Scary stuff, probably one ...

The Jonah

Advantages: Short Gripping Read
Disadvantages: A Bit outdated and cliche'd

and a part of him he thought never enev existed. If You like this and other James Herbert novels, I would suggest you look for By Horror Haunted - edited by Stephen Jones and James Herbert's Dark Places as they are great insightful books. I'll be totally frank about this though. I really need to re-read the book. I remember bits of it, but not all of it. I think the girl he falls in love with was sent to investigate on him, and he maybe still working within the police, but undercover, or he is on sabatical and simply trying to olve a certain part of the case on his own. I definately remember the ending being very strange!! ...

Review of The Jonah - James Herbert

The Ghosts of Sleath

Advantages: Fantastic read for horror enthusiasts
Disadvantages: James Herbert can't write fast enough

If Most Haunted ever had to go to Lockwood Hall I think they would retire. I love James Herbert anyway, But this is one of those books you just can't put down because you insist you have to scare the pants off yourself. In fact I would put this as a second only to 'The Dark' . If you like scary books and you've never read a good one yet then James Herbert is a good place to start with this one as a first. It has all the usual twists and turns of a Herbert, and the creepies to go with it. The story starts as David Ash thinks he has run over a small boy on the bridge as he enters the small village of Sleath, But as with all Herbert stories things are never as they seem, even from the very beggining. A fantastic read. Highly recomended to any horror enthusiast. ...

Review of The Ghosts of Sleath - James Herbert

Ghosts of the past, Spectres of the present

Advantages: Excellent and engrossing storyline, believable characters
Disadvantages: can be a little over-descriptive in places

force will not be denied, and he is brutally murdered. As he dies, our attention is then drawn back to the photograph, where the seven members of the Byker Chapter now become six as Phil's image disappears from the picture as if he had never existed. Then we meet Richard Eden, the flawed hero of the story, who gets the irresistable urge to have a look at his copy of the Byker Chapter photograph, only to discover that Phil is missing from it. So begins his race against time to track down and try to save his former friends and ultimately himself from an enemy that is aeons old and cannot be seen. Some of you may recognise elements of this storyline from novels such as 'It' by Stephen King, 'The Dark' by James Herbert and 'Darkness Comes' by Dean R Koontz, but even after reading these titles previous to Spectre, I found it more than ...
