The Best Of James Herbert!
FlukeFluke by James Herbert
Buy new: £2.37 / Used from: £0.32
Strange choice, perhaps, but this is a great story, brilliantly told. Simple, but magnificent
OthersOthers by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
I found this an exteremely satisfying book, a step up in the quality of his work. Creepy, very disturbing, and strangely sentimental.
The Magic CottageThe Magic Cottage by James Herbert
Buy used from: £0.01
Very eerie indeed, creepy and well plotted. I recently moved from the city to a cottage next to some woods (seriously) and made the mistake of re-reading this....
The Ghosts of SleathThe Ghosts of Sleath by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
This is James Herbert doing what he does best, very good characters, small, isolated community, a nicely-building storyline and BANG. Very atmospheric
'48'48 by James Herbert
Buy new: £2.43 / Used from: £0.01
I thoroughly enjoyed this, it is relentless, just sweeps you along. The main character is wonderfully written, the climax sounds a bit overblown, but works well
CreedCreed by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01
A truly scary book, again with a well-written main character dealing with the unbelievable.
The FogThe Fog by James Herbert
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01
Great early book, which showed what was to come. I must re-read this soon...
MoonMoon by James Herbert
Buy new: £0.01 / Used from: £0.01
A very atmospheric story, dealing with a small community coping with strange goings-on. Superb
SepulchreSepulchre by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £1.18
A great example of mid-period Herbert, where good stories just seemed to keep coming!
HauntedHaunted by James Herbert
Buy new: £0.01 / Used from: £0.01
Short, concise and very, very creepy. The ultimate haunted house book?
The JonahThe Jonah by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.86
A very satisfying book, featuring the main character later to re-appear in 'The Ghosts Of Sleath', so worth reading before that story, perhaps...
The RatsThe Rats by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £1.65
The best of the 'Rats Trilogy', quite simply written, gory and fast-paced. Not for the light-hearted!
LairLair by James Herbert
Buy new: £2.36 / Used from: £1.47
More of the above.....the story continues
DomainDomain by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £1.00
The least effective of the three 'Rats' books, a bit long winded, but more in Herbert's later style of writting, i.e. more depth, etc.
The SurvivorThe Survivor by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £1.00
A little on the short side, and keeps you gripped from begining to end
The DarkThe Dark by James Herbert
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.19
Not exactly ground-breaking, a bit directionless in places, but I may need to re-read this soon, as it's been over 10 years since I did so last!
