4.0 out of 5 stars Hail Marduk! 6 Oct 2005
By Jane Aland VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Following the restrained - almost genteel - horror of The Magic Cottage, Herbert returns to a more action-packed visceral style with Sepulchre. Essentially a mix between horror and thriller genre's, with the lead character being an ex-army private security operative charged with protecting a psychic businessman who believes his life to be in danger. The story takes a fair while to actually get moving, but once the action shifts to the psychic's mansion the supernatural element kicks in, with weird creatures in the lake, bands of roaming jackals, a cadaverous gatekeeper, and sacrifices to an ancient Sumerian serpent god. The novel is a little rough around the edges, with some overly broad Irish dialogue, (inevitably the lead character runs into the IRA), and despite some grisly flashback scenes the characterisation isn't particularly strong, but all in all this delivers enough action, twists and scares to make this an enjoyable romp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great novel from the master of horror. 19 July 2004
By Chris Hall TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Herbert has managed to produce another outstanding novel here, with a dark tale of corruption and despair. Admittedly, the characterisation isn't the greatest aspect of the novel, as you never really get to feel anything for any of the principal characters, but this does not subtract from the novel as much as one would think. The book races by with a jam packed plot that will truly leave you not wanting to put the book down.

There was an extra chapter that was removed from the novel by Herbert himself, which you can read within Herbert's biography - Devil In The Dark. This is an intersting addition to the novel which expands on the relationship between Liam and Cora (two major characters), but was removed because Herbert thought it slowed the pace of novel down too much.

I'd definitely recommend this book to any fan of the horror genre. I'd say it is definetly one of Herbert's better novels. Still it's not a patch on The Rats, The Fog, The Survivor or '48. Well worth a read though! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Herberts finest ever. 24 Feb 2001
By satansno2@hell.com
Format:Paperback
Undoubtedly in my own opinion Herberts greatest ever book. The characters are as appealing and utterly hateable as they possibly could be. I'm a big fan of Koontz and King, but when Herbert is in this kind of form he is simply unbeatable. If you want to read your first Herbert novel this one is your only choice. Fast paced whilst also intricate, Herbert avoids the descriptive overkill that King and Koontz unfortunatly succumb to. He truly can make characters absolutely terrifying and utterly deplorable, and keeps the average read time of his book to 2 days. This being mainly due to the fact that you can read his books for long long periods, without tiring or becoming disinterested. If you like your horror sick and scary but with a vengeful ending this book is a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the squeamish
This is my second James Herbert novel. It was enjoyable enough, but I preferred Rats. I have a very weak stomach and a couple of times felt rather squeamish.

James Herbert at his best - as always. Thrilling from page one and not wanting to put it down until completed. Scary but brilliant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a King!
While there are some moments of tension, it does not grip you. Surprisingly there is some bad grammer which hits the nerves more than the plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edge of your seat reading material!
From the 1st to the last page of Sepulchre I was on the edge of my seat. Well written + researched. Which is the norm for Herbert.
