The Ghosts of Sleath James Herbert 9780061054310 Books

I read this novel many years ago, but ordered it to read it again. James Herbert is a master story-teller, and a very scary one. Who are the ghosts, and what do they want? Just as importantly, what is the cost of finding out. Follow David Ash in his paranormal investigation and be involved in a convoluted tale of a town with a horrifying past that has come back to haunt and to collect its dues. Be frightened, be horrified, and be utterly aghast as the climax exacts its toll not only on the town and the investigator, but also on the reader.

Herbert's story is orginal and riveting, I find hid writing so good, you will not be disappointed, so go for it
A very good "British" James Herbert story by one of the better horror writers.
This book was scary, however, i could not put it down. Very good. I am slowing ordering the any books i do not have. Great Author.
This book was one that I didn't think I would enjoy, Enjoy is perhaps the wrong word. I was held spell bound to the pages. James Herbert creates such an atmosphere that you feel you are actually in the story. I must say it had me looking up at every creak and groan my house made. It is a long time since I have felt quite so scared and I must admit that I did get scared. A book that holds you right to the finish and it is an unexpected ending. This book is an A grade thriller.
I have always loved James Herbert's books, and although I have read this book before, reading it again reminded me why I adore this man's books. The build up of wrongness creates a tension where you feel as if you can shout at the characters to turn around, something bad is coming, but yet, you take every step with them. I love the character of Ash, the turmoil within him which makes the story so much more scarier. The author's ability to describe so vividly a place or situation where you can actually picture it your mind (the classroom for example) is another reason why I enjoy his books. As with the first time, I absolutely enjoyed and loved reading the book again.
The Ghosts of Sleath is what I would call a true horror novel. It covers everything that most horror fans could wish for including (but in no way limited to), violence, the unknown, zombies, murder, a very descriptive sex scene, rape, you name it. Oh, and it also contains ghosts, obviously. To me, the most enjoyable thing about this novel was the way it did not let the reader know what was going on too soon. I love the unknown factor in horror novels when they use it but usually you find out that the book is about zombies, vampires, some monster, a restless spirit, or just some guy who hates barking dogs right in the beginning. If you like these kinds of books where half the plot is given away on the back of the book and most of the rest by the cover, you may not enjoy this horror masterpiece by James Herbert. I can easily say that this is my favorite Herbert novel so far, some how managing to beat out The Fog and Domain. Some details from other Herbert novels make an appearance here as well. David Ash returns in this far superior sequel to Haunted to smoke a lot and drink Vodka, and to attempt to do his job. Thick impenetrable fog is in the book, rats, and even the word portent. Maybe I am reading into this a bit much but I like when authors mention their other works because of Stephen King's habit of doing so.
Over all, a viciously terrifying book, one that I actually stopped reading one night because it got to me so much. I have read hundreds of horror novels and maybe one out of every hundred scares me now. The Ghosts of Sleath has that great honor and I can't thank it and its author enough for it. I will end this with a visual. If you know what a jack plane is, imagine a crazed carpenter using it on a helpless nineteen-year-old boy's face, after beating him horribly with a heavy wooden mallet. If you don't know what a jack plane is, several tool purchasing sites should assist you and ultimately convince you to read this horror gem
