British horror icon James Herbert is perhaps best known as the author of THE RATS (made into the movie DEADLY EYES) and its sequels, and for later books like THE MAGIC COTTAGE. However, in the 1970s, Herbert wrote two absolutely bone-chilling "biohazard" classics: THE FOG and THE DARK. In each book, a mysterious, cloud-like substance turns all those who enter it into raving, homicidal lunatics! As the cloud expands, the number of crimes, riots, orgies and murders escalates to epidemic proportions...
THE FOG deals with the accidental release of a secret government bio-weapon, a toxic fog-like vapor. THE DARK features an inky cloud of blackness with a supernatural origin. Both books are good bets for fans of I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, 28 DAYS LATER, WARNING SIGN and THE CRAZIES.
Also recommended (for its brutal, post-apocalyptic tale of survival) is DOMAIN, the third book in his gruesome RATS trilogy.
