Product Description

Product Description

A conflict of evils.

There is a house called Neath that holds a dark and terrible secret. In that house there is a psychic called Kline who is part of its secret. The Keeper is guardian of the house, of the psychic, and of the secret. But now an outsider must protect them from a terrible danger.

Halloran will combat men who thrive on physical corruptions; he will find love of a perverse nature; he will confront his soul's own darkness. And eventually he will discover the horrific and awesome secret of the Sepulchre...

Remember with fear...

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great novel from the master of horror., 19 July 2004
By Chris Hall "Dreadlocksmile" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
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 (Brimstone Torture Centre) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Herbert's most horrific, 13 Dec 2001
By A Customer
In his best fiction, James Herbert starts with a credible thriller and when he has made you believe every last detail, he showers you in pure horror.
Sepulchre has no redeeming characters. Everyone has a dark heart and, the truth of the soul can be found beneath the terrible house of Neath, deep in the heart of the Sepulchre. His best book by far. c.c.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hail Marduk!
Following the restrained - almost genteel - horror of The Magic Cottage, Herbert returns to a more action-packed visceral style with Sepulchre. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense-loaded blend of thriller, horror & the supernatural
James Herbert never ever gets the praise he richly deserves. Sepulchre is another stunning example of his highly original style of writing. Read more
