James Herbert - please Stu tell me this is some other minor personality known only to you - not the well-known horror writer whose books I have loved for the best part of 35 years...

This thread should not make me smile but it does

Not because of the content but the potential that 1 of my fave posters has returned.

I do hope am not adding 2 to 2 and getting 5

Fluke is one of my favourite books of all time. Very sad. I hope he left a manuscript to be published as a farewell. RIP.

Such a shame, his mastery of the written word was second to none. I remember many years ago by chance picking up The Rats and was absolutely captivated from start to finish. Have since read pretty much everything he has written. Will be sadly missed. Xx

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, this man started a lot more than a thousand nightmares. Such talent in the fact that you were drawn in and felt every word.
