Another excellent read from James Herbert - and actually completes my reading of all the novels he published, which is a sad thought. This story had a dark feel to it all the way through: spooky and spine-chillingly scary, with lots of gore thrown in. It contrasts nicely with a brief romance for the lead character, David Ash. This tale leads on from Haunted, and is set before Ash. I will miss reading tales from one of the masters of horror. ( )

A typical ghost story made very readable by Herbert's twisted skill with descriptions. ( )

I saw this book in a $5 bargain box at Borders and decided to buy it based on the fact that I already wanted to read 'The Others' also by James Herbert.

This is my first introduction to James Herbert, and I thought this was a very decent 'ghost book'. I was sucked in the moment I discovered it was about a psychic investigator who is sent to a quaint village called Sleath by request of the Vicar's daughter. David Ash discovers hauntings and bizarre incidents in the town and tries to get to the bottom of it all as the town and it's inhabitants are endangered any further.

This was one of my 'work books' which I read on my lunch break and it was quite interesting/amusing to read about a cold haunted town for 30 mins a day whilst in the middle of summer. I'm sure I would have found it more scary had I read at home alone at night, however it was a very easy and enjoyable read.

There was an extremely graphic sex scene that caught me by complete and utter surprise, and Herbert's talent for graphic descriptions is evident throughout the novel. His explanation for the cause of the trouble in Sleath is interesting but wasn't completely surprising.

I enjoyed this and look forward to reading 'The Others' in the future. ( )

Ghosts of Sleath is not really a sequel, but is a follow up to this author's book Haunted, which was made into a film by the same name (but I will go into all that in Haunted). Anyway, it has the same main character, who works for some institute that studies paranormal occurrences. He's kind of like Jessica Fletcher...you know, wherever he goes, somebody gets killed. This is a story of a haunting, not only of a person or a house, but of an entire village. The key is not until the very end, keeping things moving right along and not giving away the farm until the end. Scares the pants off of you! ( )
