I've only read The Fog. I wasn't overly enamoured, to be honest. PG Wodehouse is more my cup of Earl Grey

The Rats and the Fog are enjoyable, partly down to how new and amateur he was. I think it's important to learn to appreciate first efforts because everyone has to start somewhere.

Domain and 48 have to be my favourites. I still love how he portrayed Londoners, the way most Americans parody them so often. There always seems to be a character reserved for Bob Hoskins in there somewhere.

I've got most of his. I liked Domain best. Shame he died. Brilliant author.

I agree, apparently his last novel was great. Ash it was called!

I started reading one years ago but it scared me silly.

The guy standing in the tower block watching the bomb drop then the rats in the tunnels. I believe it was called the rats but not sure.

Brighton - even Hove!

He lived and died in Sussex. I liked 'the rats' and 'the magic cottage' as I always wanted a round room.

Ive read pretty much everything he has written too. I like Fluke, domain, The rats, Sepulchre, ASh is good too and the Secrets of Crickley hall.

That was Domain, where London gets nuked and brings back the mutant rats. The end scenes are just heartstopping!

I have a good imagination. I'm also a fan of adventuring in scary places and not much scared of anything these days. But I can still read that book and feel my heart race when there's just three of them left desperately fighting a river of rats from the tiny boat before they all start plummetting onto them from London bridge. And the other guy lost in the tunnels on his own :-/

Me neither, I'm not mature enough to enjoy his later novels yet

Don't read Domain without reading Rats and Lair first though.

It wont be as scary as it can be unless you go through those ordeals first!

Loved every one of them and can’t believe there won’t be any more. If I had to pick a few I would say try others or the Jonah. He had an uncanny way of making want to read on from the end of the first sentence.

every time I'm on the underground and it stops between stations I still have a moment of fear where my brain screams " the rats are coming" and I read it years ago

My fave is Portent...closely followed by Ash. I read The Rats when I was about 8 or 9 (I've been a voracious reader since I was a nipper), I pinched it off my Dad's bookshelf and scared myself witless!

Portent was awful.... made me stop reading him for a while, until I was tempted back by "The Magic Cottage".

I read the "Rats" and "Lair" years ago, really good books and I'm not really into horrors.

Loved "The Fog" too.

Read them all apart from Ash. '48 and Sepulcre are my favourites but they are all great.
