About this ebook

Chilling and disturbing, meet the demons in Master of Horror James Herbert's Creed.

Sometimes horror is in the mind. And sometimes it's real. Telling the difference isn't always easy.

It wasn't for freelance photographer Joe Creed. He'd just photographed the unreal. Now he had to pay the price. Because he always thought that demons were just a joke. But the joke was on him. And it wasn't very funny. It was deadly . . .

Ratings and reviews

Brilliant book, James Herbert at his finest. I don't know why some folk have marked it down and moan about lack of punctuation, it only happens for 3 paragraphs and it beautifully describes when Edith and the fake medium are possessed and are rambling on without pausing for as much as a breath. Couldn't put the book down and finished it in 2 evenings. Now on to The Ghosts of Sleath.

Promises much but delivers little. Not vintage Herbert. Had some good set pieces and plot twists, but the final denouement was altogether too happy an ending for my palate.

May not have the scares, violence or gore of his earlier books but I really like the anti hero character as he works his way through the mysterious story he falls into.
