5.0�toiles sur 5 A classic and gruesome horror epic., Mars 6 2002

Par	Jim Lay (Knoxville, TN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

A cult unleashes humanity's most ancient and feared enemy in a bizarre murder-suicide in an old house. It is The Dark incarnate and it reaches out from the basement of the house, spreading madness and depravity. A chosen few, including a washed up parapsychologist, recognize it as a demonic and physical entity and fight against it as the living fog-like darkness grows exponentially... As a lifetime horror fan, I have read this novel several times and it never ceases to amaze and terrify me. It is unapologetically gruesome, absolutely harrowing, and will have you gasping out loud as you turn the pages. If you appreciate horror, this book is a must. It's slightly dated and Herbert employs a few horror cliches in the telling, but it doesn't hurt the story in any way. A horror classic of the first order. Highly recommended for horror fans who think they can't be scared anymore.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Herbert's The Dark is The Fog redux., F�v 26 2002

Par	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

James Herbert largely repeats himself with this tale of darkness, instead of fog, driving Londoners to madness and murder. Well if it isn't broke why bother to fix it, or even polish it up? Quibbles regarding lack of original concept aside, this novel has some powerful moments in it that will certainly stick with you, for that alone I give it four stars instead of three.

4.0�toiles sur 5 True to it's Genre, Janv. 15 2002

Par	Colin Willey (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The Dark by James Herbert is a true horror novel in its premise, development and description. This novel capture you from the get go and never let's up.
Directly on par with Herbert's usual formula, this novel has an ordinary-Joe male hero trying to determine the nature of the supernatural events that surround him.
The Dark is extremely similar to another one of Herbert's classics - the Fog. For North American readers, the diction and setting may prove to be a little difficult to relate to as it takes place in England (the norm for Herbert).
If you want a really good scare complete with grotesque and vivid descriptions, give it a whirl.
