I was gutted when I heard that James Herbert had died a few weeks ago! He's my very favourite Horror Writer. I would have loved to have met him, but now I never will! Trouble is, when I read his books, there's no one I can talk to about it. I was reading his last ever book, ASH when he died. Since then, I've read NOBODY TRUE and I love to hear what other readers thought of it. What a superbly BRILLIANT book! Now I'm reading MOON and have decided that James Herbert must have been a genius! A bit sick, yes, but I love it! Anyone else feel the same?

Not read Ash but his other books were good.
James Herbert was my introduction to the horror genre back when I started high school many years ago. I read the 'Rats' series first and moved on to the rest afterwards. I haven't read anything by him for a long time now, but along with Stephen King he had a huge influence on my reading tastes.
Mrs zeuhl knew him very well when he was a neighbour back in the 70s

We never worked with him when we were in publishing but he always had a good reputation as a straight forward unpretentious guy
The fog gave me nightmares
one of the best writers ever..but never seemed to get much recognition..
The Fog gave me nightmares too, Mcfluff! I've read several of his books and quite enjoyed them.
I've read a couple if his books --The Rats, The Fog.--fantastic.
One of these days will get to read them all--when the p.c packs up no doubt!
I only discovered him about 6 months or so ago when I decided to read rather than watch The Secret of Crickley Hall. Since then I have read The Dark,The Magic Cottage and Haunted. I have a few others on my shelves waiting until I next want to be terrified. :-)
I read quite a few of his books following on from a Stephen King phase when I was younger.

I found The Fog quite disturbing, not very nice reading.
Question Author
I loved THE RATS but I think my favourite so far has to be NOBODY TRUE. I've had some pretty weird "dream" experiences myself so I was well and truly hooked on this book. It just made so much sense to me. . . . in a strange kind of way.
I have read the magic cottage, scared the crap out of me !.
