L'Empire des rats (Rats, #3)

Cela commença par un tremblement de terre. Dans la confusion, au milieu des cris des victimes, personne ne prêta vraiment attention à ce brouillard jaunâtre qui s’échappait de la terre éventrée et que le vent eut tôt fait d’emporter vers la campagne anglaise. Puis des massacres inexplicables, déments, furent signalés sur le passage de la nappe de brouillard. Elle se mit à croître, progressant inexorablement vers les zones les plus peuplées d’Angleterre…

Ash is James Herbert's last and most controversial novel. It will make you wonder what is fact and what is fiction. Fear will let you in. Terror will keep you there. David Ash, ghost hunter and parapsychologist, arrives at Comraich Castle - a desolate, ancient place with a dark heart - to investigate a series of disturbing events. An incorporeal power has been ignited by a long-ago curse, fed and now unleashed by the evil of those who once inhabited this supposed sanctuary - and by some who still do. Yet their hour of retribution is at hand .

The Caleighs have had a terrible year...They need time and space, while they await the news they dread. Gabe has brought his wife, Eve, and daughters, Loren and Cally, down to Devon, to the peaceful seaside village of Hollow Bay. He can work and Eve and the kids can have some peace and quiet and perhaps they can try, as a family, to come to terms with what's happened to them...Crickley Hall is an unusually large house on the outskirts of the village at the bottom of Devil's Cleave, a massive tree-lined gorge - the stuff of local legend. A river flows past the front garden. It's perfect for them...if it a bit gloomy. And Chester, their dog, seems really spooked at being away from home. And old houses do make sounds. And it's constantly cold. And even though they shut the cellar door every night, it's always open again in morning The Secret of Crickley Hall is James Herbert's finest novel to date. It explores the darker, more obtuse territories of evil and the supernatural. With brooding menace and rising tension, he masterfully and relentlessly draws the reader through to the ultimate revelation one that will stay to chill the mind long after the book has been laid aside.

Mais les meurtres l'ont rejoint et reprennent de plus belle. Et Jonathan doit à nouveau tout raconter à la police, parler de communication télépathique. A quand son tour d'être assassiné, lui, l'empêcheur de tuer sans témoin ?

'48 by international bestseller and Master of Horror, James Herbert, explores a horrifying alternative end to the Second World War. In 1945, Hitler unleashed the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance. Those who died at once were the lucky ones. The really unfortunate took years. The survivors - people like me, who had the blood group that kept us safe from the disease - were now targets for those who believed our blood could save them. I survived for three years. I lived alone, spending my days avoiding the fascist Blackshirts who wanted my blood for their dying leader. Then I met the others - and life got complicated all over again .

Aujourd'hui encore, j'ai de la peine à croire que des choses aussi terrifiantes aient pu arriver. Et pourtant... "
