James Herbert Synopsis: In The Rats by James Herbert, London must face its greatest threat ever – rats with a hunger for human flesh. Once the bones of eaten victims were found, it became apparent that London was being overrun by these large rodents with sharp teeth. Humans and rats have been enemies for millions of years, but only now have rats gained the upper hand. The novel was adapted to film in 1982 as Deadly Eyes (which is also an alternate title of the novel).

I cant believe he’s gone, and at the tender age of 69..a loss to the Horror fantasy world. Without doubt the best, I do like Stephen King, but he’s still only a second to my number one JH. His imagination was unbarred, and flew to the extremes. from The Rats Trilogy to the The Dark and, one of my favourites The Magic Cottage. he was beyond compare & he’ll be missed.
