Gore and More discussion

The Fog is a pretty good book, well worth reading.

His name is James Herbert.

LOL....yes, somebody made a boo-boo ;-)

Hehe! Frank Herbert directed the movie Dune. Wonder if they're related?

OK, I will fix this.

Frank Herbert wrote the Dune books.

It's up to Steve to edit his post.

Yes he did.

I read and enjoyed the following Herbert novels:

Loved Haunted and The Fog . Has anyone read The Rats ? Its been on my TBR pile for quite a while now.

I have only done one by him Haunted and I found it boring. I listened on audio and had a hard time with the narrator. Maybe I should try another one.

Herbert was one of those authors that tended to be a slow-burn with tons of atmosphere until the payoff at the end. I've never listened to any of his on audio, but I could see how that might not translate well. The jury is still out for me on audio as a whole. I'm sure the more I did it the more I would warm up to it.

For those who do not care to read or listen to a Herbert novel. Haunted is a motion picture and not extremely bad for what it is.

Here's the Rotten Tomatoes review.

The Rats was great fun. Quick read. Very un-PC. Chock-full of glorious gross-out moments.

I've only read Once... and found it okay. Have a few of his horror stuff to try later.

The Rats and The Fog are both on my tbr.
