The Ghosts of Sleath / '48

2003James Herbert

3.6/5

I liked 'the Ghosts of Sleath.' It was a bit of fun, although it attributed far too sinister a reputation to the Hellfire Club, which is a common misconception. Knowing the real history of this 'social club,' as it had branches in Ireland very near where I live, I found it hard to be frightened by them or to believe any of the evil deeds Herbert attached to its members in this story. It was only a bit of fictional fun of course and was good craíc for what it was and well-written as always. However; "'48" was brilliant. I could easily see that one being made into a very exciting blockbuster film. It was so much fun to read - full of suspense and a whole theme of good guys versus totally insane guys. Although there are no actual zombies as such in the book, it did have that familiar feel of a zombie film that I so love. Very very good...
