Graphic
8. Oktober 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
This was Herbert's first novel and instantly a huge success. It features tons of gory violence, but is because of that or nevertheless quite chilling. What makes this book stand out is its astonishingly primitive structure which goes like this: Chapter One: Character is introduced and gets killed in a gory way. Chapter Two: Character is introduced and gets killed in a gory way. Chapter Three: Character is.. You get the idea. Believe me, I'm not joking. This goes on for nearly half of the book! If you like cheap thrills, read this one and you'll even learn something: Every possible way a rat can bite a human... It's fascinating that this medicore effort is the first part of a trilogy which ended with the really BRILLANT novel "Domain." Review by Oliver Naujoks, Marburg/Germany

The horror novel that launched an entire genre!
27. Februar 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This slim, grim piece of b-movie trash (and believe me, I mean that in the most positive and respectful way) actually launched a sub-genre in the british horror novel industry - the mutant pet and/or pest novel. The next few years would see bookshelves stuffed with grue dripping books about killer cats, dogs, bats, crabs, slugs (yes, I said slugs), spiders, jellyfish, and assorted other nasties. For this alone Herbert's novel deserves some kind of special recognition.
The novel itself was written, by hand I believe, on a lark. In one interview Herbert even admitted to not even bothering to do a rewrite! The story is simple: giant mutant rats gobble down assorted victims as, in between the gruesome attacks, scientists and members of the government scratch their heads and wonder how to do away with the seemingly indestructable beasties. In what would grow to be a trademark storytelling style, Herbert lavishes as much character detail on the victims to be as he does on the actual characters. An essential book for animal on the rampage buffs and rodent lovers everywhere.

The Rats
1. November 2002
Format:Hörkassette
As the result of genetic engineering gone wrong, the rats of London have evolved. They are no longer the small black dirty things that sculk about under floorboards and flee at the first sight of man. They are big, and getting bolder by the day. After their first of human victim, they have decided they want more. It is with a chill that man decides it cannot stop them.
This is one of James Herbert's best books. It is incredibly difficult to put it down, and it keeps its qualities to the last page. The morbid horror of it grips you, as well as the involvement you feel with the main character as he tries to face the rats.
It is not a book for the faint hearted.
