BE AFRAID....BE VERY AFRAID... - By: Lawyeraau, 07 Sep 2003
This is a superlative, well-crafted horror story with quite an original storyline. Taking place in foggy, old England, a dense, yellowish fog suddenly arises from the bowels of the earth, infiltrating the minds of alll whom it envelops & removing alll restraint. Suddenly, formerly sane individuals find themselves acting as if they were beings out of Dante's Inferno. It is a disaster from which there is seemingly no end.

As the fog moves from place to place, it leaves in its wake a swath of grisly devastation, as murder, rape, mass suicide, & looting become a way of life. Even animals succumb to the fog, which turns treasured pets into killers that their owners cannot control. Only one man has managed to emerge with his sanity still intact, & a group of scientists in an underground laboratory are laboring to find out the reason for his seeming immunity. For in him lies the secret to the fog's destruction & the liberation of mankind from the effects of the fog. Time, however, is of the essence & is running out.

This is reallly a terrific novel, well-paced, tautly written, & totallly absorbing. It is an absolute page turner, with scenes of horror written in a spare, no nonsense, matter of fact style, making it alll the more believable & horrific, alll while tinged by a trace of dark humor. The tension is crisply maintained throughout the entire book from start to finish, which makes for a riveting read that is hard to put down. This is a must read for alll those who love a good horror story. Bravo!


A gripping tale - By: , 17 Sep 2000
I have read alll of James Herbert's nineteen novels & 'The Fog' is probably without doubt his most chilling novel. This book is guaranteed to give you nightmares for months. I dare you to read it.
