James Herbert

[craft1948]

Very sorry to see that James Herbert has died today. His book, The Rats was one of the scariest I've ever read, he was definitely a master of his genre.................

I've really enjoyed some of his books over the years.

Oh no. I LOVE James Herbert. I have ALL his books. A big box full. I bought each one as and when it was published so eg The Rats is a very early version. All paperbacks though. RIP Mr Herbert.

Has he??? Like his books too..many of them made into films...shame...

Damn. The Rats was the first horror book I read as a kid, followed by Domain, The Fog and Fluke.

The Magic Cottage was always my favourite of his. Very sad news.

[naomi24]

Ah, Fluke! I'd forgotten that. Excellent book.

[maggiebee]

Sad news indeed.

[ummmm]

I hadn't heard that. RIP :-(

Sad indeed RIP James Herbert.

Oh wow, I've missed this news. He was my introduction to horror writing.

He bought my friends parents house a good few years ago.

[Mamyalynne]

indeed a true master of his art, RIP.

Oh No!!! As a severe dyslexic I found his first books easy to read, im not sure why. then he wrote "The Sepulchre" I really couldn't understand it, his writing style changed with that book. I thought he was fantastic, possibly because his books were the only ones I could actually read. So sorry to hear of his death, just for those few books he wrote he was my favourite author of all times!!

RIP.

I remember reading The Fog, frit the life out if me!

I only just discovered him a few months ago. Very sorry to hear that.
I've only read 2 of his books so far-but know I will enjoy any others I read in the future.

[RATTER15]

Oh yes Fluke!! A dog that thought he was a man or was it a man that thought he was a dog.

This is a little belated but my favourite is " The Spear". What an imagination he had, that book still makes me shiver.
