    In Liverpool a rat often constitutes Sunday lunch

    Do they have a minutes silence first Dan?

    Rats are a common delicacy in Glasgow as well. Retrieved from their bins.

    Christ, I didn't know he was that old. Rats was pretty good, as were a few others he wrote. Some of it was pish though.

    Nobody True is Herbert's finest work. The Fluke is pretty good too.

    His last offering was poor. He must have already been ill when he wrote it.

    Sad news, though.

    I thought Nobody True was a bit gay to be honest. The Rats, The Fog and The Dark were my faves.

    Used to read his books back in the day. Read The Rats on a train journey from London to Liverpool in one go, great stuff.

    Having said that I've not read one of his books for over 10 years.

    Always used to read pulp horror like Herbert, Robert McCammon, Graham Masterton, Shaun Hutson, Dean Koontz and the like.

    Other books are available.
