James Herbert's Early Novels

[Wolfmanfan]

Yes, I tend to agree. James Herbert's books, especially his earlier ones, do have a thrilling pace to them and are very creepy. This is why he has enjoyed so much success over the years. That man has produced some real classic horror novels over the years. THE DARK was a good example of just how effective Herbert's horror fiction is.
