Editorial Reviews

"The author has an undeniable knack for thrilling, as few other writers have . . . he sure can tell a devil of a story." —Literary Review on Fluke


"Even readers who scoff at gooseflesh may get the creepy-crawlies . . . page by page Herbert grips by anchoring us into his skeptical psychic investigator." —Kirkus Reviews on The Ghosts of Sleath


"A big, thrilling, pull-all-the-stops novel . . . a gripping mixture of paranormal and traditional thriller elements. Imagine Herbert channeling Dan Brown and you'll have some idea of what he's up to here." —Booklist starred review on Ash


"Mad Max meets dystopian London bloodsuckers . . . . All praise to Herbert for his haunting vision of Ghost City, the hotels and subways and buses filled with the long-dead and dried-out." —Kirkus Reviews on '48
