Ratings and reviews

A good read for all levels of horror fan. The setting was rich, the characters somewhat interesting, and the atmosphere was tense; but I can't help but feel the protagonist was a bit flat. Still, recommend it and will definitely read more Herbert, but hardly 'the master of horror' so far.

Good ol' James Herbert. A name from my teens. Never disappoints. Catching up on a few I haven't read. This wasn't as scary as some of his others, but a good read nevertheless. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Too short to get any more but Ash is a well written character and he produces moments of creepiness
