About this ebook
A special fiftieth-anniversary edition of a horror classic from James Herbert, bestselling author of The Rats.
It started with a crack that ripped the earth apart. Then out of the bottomless pit creeps a malevolent fog that leaves a deadly trail in its wake.
John Holman is on a secret assignment from the Department of the Environment when he is dragged into the clutches of this oppressive fog. After a series of grisly axe murders, rampaging livestock and the near-loss of his own sanity, it becomes clear to John that this unstoppable fog is destined to twist the minds and devastate the lives of all those it encounters.
Yet the true horror is only just beginning . . .
‘James Herbert comes at us with both hands’ – Stephen King
A chilling story of madness and murder, The Fog explores the immense destruction chemical weapons can cause – and is a stark reminder of humanity's frailty in the face of uncontrollable forces.

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
