Ash

Description

Ash is James Herbert's last and most controversial novel. It will make you wonder what is fact and what is fiction. Fear will let you in. Terror will keep you there. David Ash, ghost hunter and parapsychologist, arrives at Comraich Castle - a desolate, ancient place with a dark heart - to investigate a series of disturbing events. An incorporeal power has been ignited by a long-ago curse, fed and now unleashed by the evil of those who once inhabited this supposed sanctuary - and by some who still do. Yet their hour of retribution is at hand . . . Start the chilling series from the Master of Horror, with Haunted.

James Herbert was not just Britain's number one bestselling writer of chiller fiction, a position he held ever since publication of his first novel, but was also one of our greatest popular novelists. Widely imitated and hugely influential, his twenty-three novels have sold more than fifty-four million copies worldwide, and have been translated into over thirty languages, including Russian and Chinese. In 2010, he was made the Grand Master of Horror by the World Horror Convention and was also awarded an OBE by the Queen for services to literature. His final novel was Ash. James Herbert died in March 2013.

A roller-coaster of gut-punching shocks, eerie encounters, chillingly scary moments, and shudderingly good writing * Express & Star *
