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

5.0 out of 5 stars Herbert's most horrific, 13 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sepulchre (Paperback)
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.
