Reviews
"James Herbert comes at us with both hands, not willing to simply engage our attention, he seizes us by the lapels and begins to scream in our faces."

"Master of horror"

Fan Site Editorial Review
Arguably Herbert's most relentlessly disturbing novel. The fog as a vehicle for mass madness is a brilliant conceit, deployed with savage imagination. Not for the faint-hearted — this is horror at its most viscerally effective.
