James Herbert - RIP

As a young teenager I loved horror novels.  I went to the library a lot and read a lot of them.  Stephen King was probably my favourite but I was also a big fan of James Herbert.  Books like The Rats and The Fog were creepy and fairly well written.  I think I still have the hardback bookclub copy of Creed that I bought when it came out.  I was 13 then and I loved the book.

As I grew older I read less of his stuff but I still have fond memories of his books.  I was sad to hear that he had died at the relatively young age of 69.

RIP
