    <body><![CDATA[Here we have Herbert's first novel, The Rats, which became the founder of the splatter punk horror genre. Herbert introduced the world to extreme splatter gore and unashamed violence in a style that has produced so many followers. With this one novel alone he has created a whole new aspect to horror...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52537160">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A friend lent this to me--she's English and really into the whole horror scene. She compared James Herbert to Stephen King. By the time I finished the novel, I was disgusted that anyone could say such a thing. I think King has his ups and downs, his ins and outs, but THE RATS was worse than anything...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72687596">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[London is suddenly besieged by giant rats that start attacking and devouring humans! (it could happen folks…..). The book is really short (les than 200 pages) which is one of the things that I think makes it work.

It starts off incredibly, with about the first 60 pages being an unrelenting, well written account of a wave of giant rats attacking the citizens of London's East End.  It loses steam after that, and becomes a little bit boring about halfway through.  At 200 pages...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60481975">more...</a>]]></body>
