I adore James Herbert, and I've never read one of his works and been disappointed. This is probably my second favourite of his, coming close runner up to The Dark which has a very similar storyline (a mystical force making people mad) but I thought it held more suspense and was much scarier (probably because the force was bred from evil rather than a scientist). But nevertheless it had me hooked immediately and provided a few good shocks along the way. A Very very good read if your a fan of horror.

This is one of my all time favorite books. But you do have to have a sort of twisted mind to fully appreciate Herbert's imagination
