Les rats attendaient leur heure. Ils n'eurent pas à attendre très longtemps... L'apocalypse nucléaire. Londres rasée, anéantie. Ses habitants carbonisés, irradiés, ensevelis sous les décombres. Mais, pour une poignée d'entre eux, réfugiés dans les abris ou les couloirs du métro, la survie est peut-être encore possible. Ils ne se doutent pas que le pire est à venir. Car, sous la surface de la ville, les rats les épient. Les rats qui ont compris que l'Homme, affaibli, sans défense, est désormais leur proie.

Cela commença par un tremblement de terre. Dans la confusion, au milieu des cris des victimes, personne ne prêta vraiment attention à ce brouillard jaunâtre qui s'échappait de la terre éventrée et que le vent eut tôt fait d'emporter vers la campagne anglaise. Puis des massacres inexplicables, déments, furent signalés sur le passage de la nappe de brouillard. Elle se mit à croître, progressant inexorablement vers les zones les plus peuplées d'Angleterre...

In 'The Ghosts of Sleath', nothing ever happens in this quiet village - that is until the ghosts start to appear. A psychic investigator is called in but the events which unfold drive him to the edge of his sanity. In ''48', Hitler unleashes the Blood Death on Britain in 1945 as his final act of vengeance.

We thought we'd found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Charming, maybe a little run down, but so peaceful. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge's painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our love for each other -- well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic. "What happened to us there was horrendous beyond belief. The healings, the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves, the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions, and the bats -- oh God, the bats! Even now those terrible things seem impossible to me. Yet they happened..." 'Beautifully orchestrated crescendo of suspense...Herbert had brought the shivers back to the genre.' Washington Post

"There is an old, empty house in Devil's Cleave, a deep gorge that leads from the high moors down to the harbour village of Hollow Bay. The house is Crickley Hall and it's large and grim, somehow foreboding. It's rumoured to be haunted. It's thought to hold a secret." "Despite some reservations, the Caleighs move in, searching for respite in this beautiful part of North Devon, seeking peace and perhaps to come to terms with what's happened to them as a family. But all is not well with the house. They hear unaccountable noises. A cellar door they shut every night is always open again in the morning. They see things that cannot be real." "The house is the last place the Caleighs should have come to, for the terror that unfolds is beyond belief. Soon they will discover the secret horror of Crickley Hall."--BOOK JACKET.
