James Herbert - Anyone else like his stuff?

[jofeb04]

I've read The Secret Of Crickley Hall and Nobody True.

Got Ghosts of Sleath to read and Moon!

did't he write fluke? Horror stuff?

Not read James Herbert for over 20 years, but used to love his stuff.

Rats and Lair.

Not sure I could read them these days.

I can never remember which ones he has written fro some reason, really liked the ghosts of sleath. Is fluke the one about the dog? If so thats fabulous. {goes to look on amazon for a reminder}

I'm reading ghosts of sleuth at the momement, started reading it last night!

IVE BEEN A FAN OF HIS FOR YRS LOVE ALL HIS BOOKS READ ALL OF THEM BEEN LOOKING ON HIS WEBSITE FOR HIS LATEST NOVEL BUT NOT WRITTEN ONE YET[SAD] MY FAV IS ONCE

I think his best one is "The Magic Cottage"

I read Rats,Lair and Fluke...Rats I read when I was far too young suprised I didn't develop some kind of irrational phobia tbh..lol..haven't read after those I'm a King chick..

I used to love Stephen King - but, for me he has become very predictable (and if I am honest - boring) over the past five or six years. So much so that I have given all his books away (had every one).

I liked Stephen Kings earlier stuff, but thought the Cell was pretty good as well!

Why do I like scaring my self with stories like these

I love James Herbert..my parents used to get his books every year in duty free wehn we went away on hols . It was like a pilgrimage so I was brought up on his books. I have to admit I havent read all of them cause I am a bit of a wimp, but I loved Fluke.

I have a lot of James Herbert (in fact I may have all of them). I like it better than Stephen King although I do cringe at the grusome bits!

Loved Fluke (isn't that the only non creepy one?).

Did you like Cell jofeb04? I couldn't put it down all the way through and was a little disappointed at the end.

I liked the first couple of JH books I read, but after that they all seemed very much the same and the gruesome bits got worseI like a couple of Stephen King books but most of them bore me to tears.
(I do like horror BTW, I've not just put down my Mills & Boon to come in here and slag them off )

ooh think I might read Fluke if it's less gory than the rest.
Is he the one with the gory sex scenes as well?

Magic cottage was creepy with a bit of fluffyness thrown in?

lol! Fluke is a dog. It's quite sweet really.

Sorry, I meant he = JH
He seems to enjoy the fairly vile sex scenes iirc - the books started to leave me with a bit of a nasty taste in my mouth
