Shortly after their arrival, they were greeted by some human neighbors, members of some sort of cult that lived in a nearby old manor house. They seemed friendly enough, if a little strange, but the local town did not like them at all. Something is not quite right about the cottage, however. Besides the friendly local wildlife, Mike and Midge seemed to have creative spells that are unprecedented. Further, a lot of the work that needed to be done to the cottage that they noted was mysteriously fixed before the repair crew arrived. It seems the cottage is somehow a channel for magic, at first for the good, but perhaps there is a dark side as well...

Like many I've read this one is just fine, with a few elements that really stand out. I like the way this plays with the haunted house concept, going in directions you really don't expect. The cult stuff didn't come together the way I would have liked, though. Jones, Stephen, ed. (1992). James Herbert: By Horror Haunted. London: Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 978-0-450-53810-0.

Een leuk koppel verhuisd van de drukke stad naar een prachtige cottage op het Engelse platteland. Het sfeertje deed me denken aan de tv serie midsomer murder (voordat er in de aflevering een moord wordt gepleegd). Het huis lijkt een weldadig helend effect te hebben. Er lopen massa's tamme dieren rond het huis. Op een klein duister sfeertje na wat je toch op je hoede laat zijn was het een heerlijk knus verhaal.

Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Herbert released a new novel virtually every year from 1974 to 1988, wrote six novels during the 1990s and released three new works in the 2000s. "I am very insecure about being a writer", he stated in the book Faces of Fear. "I don't understand why I am so successful. And the longer I stay that way, the better it's going to be, because that's what keeps me on the edge, striving if you like." Toen ik de cover en titel zag trok dit boek gelijk mijn aandacht. Dit moet wel een hele vette horror zijn dacht ik. Eenmaal halverwege het boek was ik nog steeds niks engs tegengekomen. In tegendeel het was een heerlijk cozy en magisch verhaal.

All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention.

this is not a bad book. i don't think this is a particularly good book either. easy to read and not particularly painful to get through... i read it all through one long rainy night. Herbert is a real professional: the screws are tightened expertly, our two leads are sympathetic & realistic (although one of them is a wee bit off), the mysteries unfold at a good pace, creepy supernatural goings-on abound, some enjoyable twists & turns pop up, and of course a mysterious & possibly threatening figure lurking on the edge of things appears.

Herbert sí sabe cómo concluir una historia... Fue espectacular. Cuando creés que ya no puede ser mejor, el autor te redobla la apuesta. El último cuarto del libro fue un huracán.
