James Herbert Boeken

Het einde van de zomer nadert. Epping Forest, een uitgebreid natuurgebied niet ver van Londen is mooier dan ooit. De natuur bereidt zich voor op de winter. Vrede en rust beheersen het woud. Totdat Jenny Hammer, een jonge lerares, vreemde dieren bij een vijver in het bos ziet. Grote, angstwekkende dieren met spitse snuiten en rose oren, grote snijtanden en een lange staart. James Herbert schreef een ijzingwekkende thriller over een ras van ratten dat groter, sterker, intelligenter en vooral wreder is dan al zijn voorouders, en zich uitsluitend voedt met mensenvlees.

David Ash, un investigatore che si occupa di fenomeni medianici viene invitato in una residenza di campagna, teatro da tempo di inspiegabili eventi paranormali. Appena arrivato l'uomo si trova davanti a un mistero dai risvolti inquietanti e nel corso di tre interminabili notti di terrore è costretto a rivedere le proprie convinzioni.

De mensheid is te ver gegaan. De voortekenen van een naderende wereldramp razen met onvoorstelbaar geweld over alle continenten. Wervelstormen, aardbevingen, vloedgolven, vulkaanuitbarstingen - de laatste woeste stuiptrekkingen van een stervende planeet. Elke catastrofe wordt voorafgegaan door de mysterieuze verschijning van kleine bollen puur wit licht. Evenals duizenden andere mensen ziet ook de Engelse klimatoloog James Rivers het stralende lichtspoor, dat hem met een hypnotiserende kracht naar de verblijfplaats van twee bijzondere kinderen leidt. Dan begrijpt James Rivers dat hij deze kinderen met zijn eigen leven moet beschermen. Want de toekomst van de zieke aarde ligt in hun handen. Een titanenstrijd tussen de schrikwekkende krachten van licht en duisternis brandt los. Er staat iets ongelooflijks te gebeuren...

This text is devoted to the colourful landscapes produced during the Fauvist period of 1904-1908. An essay on the emergence of the Fauve landscape is followed by four essays devoted to individual sites and such topics as Fauvism's impact on tourism and politics. Another essay concentrates on the critical landscape, in essence the critics' reception of these paintings. Matisse, Braque, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, Marquet, Manguin and Friesz are represented with examples of their works.

This title presents the 'finest timepieces in the world' according to their famous Swiss manufacturer Patek Philippe.

Investigator David Ash is sent to the picturesque village of Sleath in the Chiltern Hills to look into mysterious reports of mass hauntings. What he discovers is a terrified community gripped by horrors and terrorized by ghosts from the ancient village's long history.

We thought we'd found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Charming, maybe a little run down, but so peaceful. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge's painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our love for each other -- well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic. "What happened to us there was horrendous beyond belief. The healings, the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves, the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions, and the bats -- oh God, the bats! Even now those terrible things seem impossible to me. Yet they happened..." 'Beautifully orchestrated crescendo of suspense...Herbert had brought the shivers back to the genre.' Washington Post

"There is an old, empty house in Devil's Cleave, a deep gorge that leads from the high moors down to the harbour village of Hollow Bay. The house is Crickley Hall and it's large and grim, somehow foreboding. It's rumoured to be haunted. It's thought to hold a secret." "Despite some reservations, the Caleighs move in, searching for respite in this beautiful part of North Devon, seeking peace and perhaps to come to terms with what's happened to them as a family. But all is not well with the house. They hear unaccountable noises. A cellar door they shut every night is always open again in the morning. They see things that cannot be real." "The house is the last place the Caleighs should have come to, for the terror that unfolds is beyond belief. Soon they will discover the secret horror of Crickley Hall."--BOOK JACKET.

A peaceful village in Wiltshire is shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled.

Private eye Nicholas Dismas is hired to find a baby taken at birth. His investigation leads him to a home for the elderly. Here Dismas will discover the dark secret of the Others. In an astonishing and spectacular finale, he will resolve the enigma of his own existence.

The mutant white rat had grown and mated, creating offspring in its own image. They dominated the others, the dark-furred ones, who foraged for food and brought it back to The Lair. Now the dark rats were restless, tormented by a craving they could not satisfy. But the white slug-like thing that ruled them knew. Its two heads weaved to and fro and a stickiness drooled from its mouth as it remembered the taste of human flesh.

He was a stringy mongrel wandering the streets, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness, the dog they called Fluke knew that he was once a man.

First published in 1976, a tale of horror and suspense about the only survivor of an air crash. From the author of THE FOG.

Originally published: Sevenoaks: New English Library, 1983.

Partially incapacitated by a stroke, Thom Kincaid travels back to the wooded land where he grew up to recuperate. Surrounded by the comforts of Castle Bracken, Thom plans to relive old, forgotten memories. But his return stirs an ancient evil, one cloaked in the guise of a friend. His only chance for survival lies in a world in which he no longer believes.

It came like a malignant shadow with seductive promises of power. And somewhere in the night... a small girl smiled as her mother burned... Asylum inmates slaughtered their attendants... in slimy tunnels, once-human creatures gathered. Madness raged as the lights began to fade, and humanity was attacked by an ancient, unstoppable evil.

James Herbert transcends the horror medium with '48, a blistering tale of post-World War II London overrun with fear and blood. Delivering not only terrifying imagery, but pulse-pounding action and historical adventure, it is destined to become a classic. It is a London Too Terrifying to Imagine. Already crippled by the relentless Nazi bombing, this once-beautiful city has been depopulated by a hideous blood plague unleashed in the final convulsive collapse of the German regime. Now, human vampires wander the rubble-strewn streets, desperately searching for the only thing that can cure them... But not all survivors have been afflicted, and Hoke -- a lone hero accompanied only by his trusty dog and bitter memories -- is relentlessly pursued for the clean blood that courses through his veins. Yet his flight soon takes on a different meaning as he saves two women and a former German soldier. Banding together, they flee into the city's underground tunnels where an unexpected betrayal that delivers them right into the hands of their deadly adversaries prompts Hoke to take a stand against these monsters once and for all. "With '48, James Herbert delivers another triumphant thriller that blends two-fisted action with the supernatural". -- Douglas E. Winter

In this novel, Jim True has been murdered but he is still aware. Freed from his body Jim pursues his killer to discover why and how he has managed to survive. As he closes in, he discovers a web of betrayal and meets his killer - and the killer can also leave his body at will.

Sometimes horror is in the mind and sometimes its real. Telling the difference isnt always easy. It wasnt for Joe Creed. Hed just photographed the unreal. Now he had to pay the price, because he always thought that demons were just a joke. But the joke was on himand it wasnt very funny. It was deadly.

The nightmare begins before you sleep... He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time he lived in peace. Until the 'sightings' began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense. He witnessed the grotesque acts of another thing, a thing that glorified in murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind. And relished contact. A creature that would eventually come to the island to seek him out...

Horror. By the author of The Ghosts of Sleath.

When Steadman agreed to investigate the disappearance of a young Mossad agent, he had no idea he would be drawn into a malevolent conspiracy of neo-Nazi cultists bent on unleashing an age-old unholy power on an unsuspecting world.

Ghosts and conspiracy theories, enter the horrifying world created by James Herbert.

There is a house called Neath that holds a dark and terrible secret. In that house there is a psychic called Kline who is part of its secret. The Keeper is guardian of the house, of the psychic, and of the secret. But now an outsider must protect them from a terrible danger. Halloran will combat men who thrive on physical corruptions; he will find love of a perverse nature; he will confront his soul's own darkness. And eventually he will discover the horrific and awesome secret of the Sepulchre.

Fear will let you in. Terror will keep you there. Ash is James Herbert’s most controversial novel to date, and will make you wonder what is fact and what is fiction. They were miscreants with black souls, roaming the corridors and passageways. Infamous people thought long-deceased. Hiding and nurturing their evil in a basement full of secrets so shocking they would shake the world if they were ever revealed. David Ash, ghost hunter and parapychologist, 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 . . .

James Herbert is a long-time filmmaker living and working in Athens, Georgia. Presently he has begun to photograph single frames from his films for the purpose of making photographic prints. These images possess the erotic and dreamlike qualities of the films they are taken from and stand on their own as haunting individual glimpses into James Herbert's imagination.

L'incubo inizia prima di dormire... Era fuggito dagli orrori del suo passato, trovando rifugio nella quiete dell'isola. E per un certo periodo visse in pace. Fino a quando non iniziarono le "visioni", visioni di orrore che si infiltravano nella sua mente come tentacoli velenosi, atti violenti che erano orribilmente macabri, i pensieri diventavano intensi. Assistette agli atti grotteschi di un'altra entità, un'entità che si compiaceva nell'omicidio e nella mutilazione, un mostro che presto divenne consapevole dell'osservatore nella propria mente. E si compiacque del contatto. Una creatura che alla fine sarebbe venuta sull'isola per cercarlo...
