The Dark (Abridged) Audiobook

" Not my favourite ever James Herbert book, harder to get into than others and too many skips into side stories and more gruesome than scary. "

" I think this is Herbert's best book, and they even made a solid movie out of it that I liked. Great atmosphere. "

" read it years ago and remember enjoying it. on a second read it seems formulaic and pretty flat "

" It's a really good read, keeps you on the edge of your seat with a beautiful ending, a must read if you fancy something scary. "

" good build up, cope out ending. unresolved, felt like he got bored and thought he'd just end it with no real explanation. "

" creepy this is horror at it's most terrifing "

" Sorry, couldn't finish this book. Too many POVs confused me and the story wasn't that interesting or scary enough. I went in with low expectations and I wasn't disappointed on that front. I have never been so bored reading a book in the horror genre before...disappointing. "

" lost the thread a bit with this book started off great but was too weird for me,very far fetched but i suppose its meant to be like that struggled to finish it "

" I love these kind of stories "

" Brill. read, can't put down "

" This will always be one of my most favorite horror books of all time. "

" An absolutely BRILLIANT book ! What a story ! And what a twist ! Completely took me by surprise! Herbert at his best here !! "

" I normally love James Herbert's books, but this one didn't really do it for me. Thought the plot was too far fetched, the story repetitive & the ending seemed silly. It was only the fact the Herbert is such a good story teller that kept me reading "

" Numerous charactors come and go in this book that keeps your interest.Reminds me of a hardcore version of The Devil Rides Out. "

" One of the scariest novels ever written. Pure madness. "

" From page one of the book i was sucked in. The things that happen in this book you would never suspect. Its not predictable and it keeps youbwanting more. The ending was very active but i wasnt wishing for it to have te sad happy ending that it did. "

" One of the freakiest books i have ever read. I really couldnt put it down because i was scared out my wits. Read in record time as i couldnt turn my light off before i knew how it ended. Must re-read to see if it has the same effect. "

" Well...I finished this book in about 8 hours! i was engrossed! Couldnt put it down. I really enjoyed it although i dont think the ending was as perfectly written as the rest of the book. Would certainly recommend it to someone...infact my aunty has already pinched it! "

" Very similar to the fog and drags a little towards the end. But worth a read don't read it in the dark though ;-) "

" This was the first James Herbert that I read and I was hooked from beginning to end. Really gruesome and spine-chilling stuff! "

" A great, creepy horror story. "

" Pretty creepy. Good book for Halloween. Kept me up a few nights listening to the strange noises in the house. "

" Glad I read this book. It was the first James Herbert I read. Not the greatest book ever but worth a read. Only 99p on Amazon for my Kindle can not complain too much. Kept me interested enought to finish in a couple of days but did'nt give it to much though once finished. Worth a read. "

" Good horror book.. I enjoyed it, and would say that it was one of the better horror book that I have read in a while.. It was a pretty simple quick read.. "

" The last 3% was really good. Effectively a zombie book. "

" back in the eighties Herbert books looked like the end of the rainbow for a goth little teenager like me. having read one in my 30's i can happily say MY GOD THEY ARE RUBBISH "

" One of the freakiest books i have ever read. I really couldnt put it down because i was scared out my wits. Read in record time as i couldnt turn my light off before i knew how it ended. Must re-read to see if it has the same effect. "

" Not as good as I remember it being, but then that was a long time ago. It probably doesn't help that I started reading it immediately after finishing 'It', so Mr Herbert's straightforward narrative style came over as slightly jarring for the first 100 or so pages. "

" Interesting death scenes, but the explanation of the book's events was not satisfying to me. I'd give it 2 1/2 stars if I could. "

" creepy this is horror at it's most terrifing "

" I first heard about James Herbert from Goodreads, so since I'm a huge horror fan I had to read this book. It is a very tense read and kept me entertained to the end. I was really expecting it to be a haunted house book, but it wasn't one. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it anyway. "
