An absolute classic from the mid 70s. A mysterious fog appears and drives human beings into madness. Here you really understand the term homo hominis lupus! The government is trying to do everything to stop the fog from moving to London. In vain. The fog reaches London. Will John Holman, the main character, who survived the fog, be able to stop this "deadly man made disease" in the end? I think this is the best book if you want to read something in the section something escaped from the laboratory and mutated into a terminal threat. Be warned some explicit scenes are waiting on you. I also liked the London localities here as I know them quite well. Absolute recommendation when you're in for a real thrill!

An unconventional horror novel that mixes main character perspectives with dozens of short stories about people going bonkers
Depending on what one wants, this can be a good or a bad thing. It´s not really what one expects from the horror genre, because it doesn´t have the dark fantasy, big epic action plotline that is really interconnected, or the overkill of sadistic, violent scenes. It´s more a kind of
Psychological horror slowly escalating in many situations
The fascinating aspect is how the tragedy of workplaces, abusive relationships, traumas popping up again, sheer coincidence, creates introspections of people dealing with anger management and hate issues for a very long until the plot vehicles allow them to find a solution that is satisfying just for them. That´s the best part of the novel, while the pure plot, exposition, and action scenes are kind of redundant and just not as good as the psychological warfare section people love to integrate into their daily lives or lifelong relationships, wacky apes that they are.
Even nature gets nasty
That´s one of my favorites, because it includes an extra frightening factor, not knowing when, where, and how the tortured planet and its inhabitants might strike back against exploitative humankind. Go, nature, get revenge!
Definitively a good choice for a quick horror read, because it's quite entertaining to guess what the next rampage might look like, what the motivation might be, and how understandable and kind of eligible the perpetrator's action might be, no matter how cruel and bloody. The good old end solution of a bad marriage, working career, toxic friendship, etc and how ethical killing someone who is a bad person can feel like from the POV of the ones mobbed, abused, or nagged and humiliated for decades.
Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:

James Herbert’s novel “The Fog” contains the following triggers: a crazed ax-murderer graphically offs an entire family, a pastor urinates on his congregation, teenaged boys murder their gym teacher and their school headmaster gets a giant erection and has the boys run a train on him, an entire town commits suicide by walking into a lake, a man keeps the decapitated head of his wife in the backseat of his car, and a man has an unstoppable urge to kick strangers in the arse.
If any of this sounds triggering to you (and, it should be noted, these are just a few of the truly nasty bits in the novel), please avoid this novel at all costs.
If, however, you enjoy trashy late-‘70s British horror novels that push the envelope of good taste and, well, logic, then Herbert is quite possibly the writer you’ve been looking for all these years. He has certainly become a new favorite of mine.
Sadly, Herbert passed away in 2013, but he left behind quite an oeuvre of trashy horror novels. And I’m not trying to be insulting when I call them trash. Don’t get me wrong: Herbert was a wonderful writer with a vivid imagination and a great knack for believable character development. He was also excellent at writing a helluva good blood-and-guts story. He certainly wasn’t hindered by any British inhibitions when it came to writing incredibly graphic scenes of torture, murder, and otherworldly horror.
“The Fog”, published in 1975, was only his second novel, following his successful first novel “The Rats”. Not to be confused with John Carpenter’s 1980 film “The Fog”, Herbert’s novel was about an earthquake that devastates the English countryside and unleashes a mysterious yellow glowing fog that affects anybody caught in it in horrible ways. Anyone and everyone caught in the fog, within 24 hours, becomes an insane homicidal sex pervert. The protagonist—a man who is endowed with immunity to the fog’s effects, because of reasons—-must somehow stop this unnatural weather anomaly, something that the British government, the British military, and the nation’s top scientists can’t seem to do.
The book is, despite its copious amounts of gore and uncomfortable levels of perviness (Herbert was an unabashed heterosexist and yet fascinated with homosexual relationships), immensely fun and entertaining.

This is not the John Carpenter “The Fog” but it is still an excellent read. James Herbert does a great job of keeping the readers on the edge of their seats. There is much suspense, plenty of action and believable characters. Herbert is an English horror writer that has had many successful novels. The endings of his books are often difficult to predict, just as this one is full of constantly changing events. The fog moves like it has a mind of its own, leaving insanity in its wake. Conventional ways of dispersing the fog is not working. The government is laying all of its hopes on one man who remains immune to the fog. I do not think will ever look at a fog the same way again. There is gore, atrocities and even the heat of the moment. My GR friends whose appetite yearns for this genre will not be disappointed.

"Why had everything changed? What was it that caused people to destroy each other?"
Initial Thoughts
The Fog by James Herbert is a proper old school, vintage horror that gives you exactly what you expect. It's violent, gratuitous and a lot of fun in places. The author gives us a very interesting concept of a fog that drives people crazy to the point of committing absolutely horrific acts. But appeared to lack a little in terms of quality and execution. Think a generic, B movie effort and you won't go far wrong.
My favourite authors in the horror genre are Stephen King and Robert R McCammon and although you shouldn't compare authors and treat each one on an individual basis...tough turkey...I'm making comparisons. The Fog is trashy horror at its finest, but it lacks the overall quality of the work produced by the previously mentioned authors. In fact it's pretty glaring.
The Writing
Herbert does the violence and gore very well. The Fog sinks to the lowest depths of depravity in some scenes and there's some great and memorable moments. It's very fun.
What's not fun is the characters, who are paper thin, boring and so forgettable there out of my memory banks as I'm writing this review. There's some sub plots, particularly the romance element, that is like watching paint dry and that's down to the characters. Corny dialogue and zero development. More horrifying than the actual fog that's terrorising them.
"He walked on, a coldness creeping through his body, his steps noiseless and cautious. He tried to fight the chill that enveloped him, reassuring himself with the thought that the sinister circumstances, the loneliness and lack of clear vision were all working together, attacking his imagination, allies to fear."
But like I said, this is a horror and those elements are good. So if that's what you're after, which I assume you are, Herbert delivers in that area. However, there are far, far, far superior horror novels out there.
The Story
If you're still reading this far and you want to know what this one's about listen in. A peaceful village in Wiltshire is struck by a vicious earthquake that releases a sinister fog from the very depths of hell. A fog that has mind bending powers that drives those that come into contact with it completely insane. Madness, violence and depravity ensue.
One of the early survivors, John Holman, provides the only hope of saving the day and has to battle through some frantic and brutal scenes. There's a team of scientists on board and we are definitely in the sci-fi horror territory. It all builds toward a very intense ending that was pretty damn satisfying. So not all bad.
Final Thought
The potential for this story to be a barnstormer is definitely there, it just lacks in quality. It's worth bearing in mind that this was an early effort from the author and with the strong horror elements I'd definitely give him another go. A stay of execution if you will. But if I were you I'd potentially start with a different one to this.
"It was too fantastic, too much like science fiction. But then everything that happened was too fantastic."

~ + ~ Murder...Mayhem...and Madness.
THE FOG first shows its ugly face in a small peaceful village in England with two lovely children entering and happily exiting a candy store with their booty when the ground begins to rumble. Enter John Holman returning from a secret assignment for the Department of Environment who happens to turn up at just the wrong moment when the earth opens up....swallows those near..and emits its dense, yellow tinged, smelly life altering mist.
As THE FOG grows and government types struggle to search for answers, normal folk turn into raving lunatics with superior strength who only aim to do harm or commit suicide while John fights for his life strapped to a hospital bed...until...well, you'll see.
~ + ~ Sex...Shocks...and Snickers.
THE FOG is a 1970's horror classic by the late James Herbert...my first...but not last...that has a variety of character types with mist-linked stories, some with descriptive sex, others with shocking acts of brutality and murder (one super surprising), and a few like the menacing cows, kicking-butts banker and holy pee pee that cracked me up.
So......hide, be wary of headaches, stay away from everyone...including animals and of course, the sinister cloud of horror.

This guy is sometimes called the British Stephen King; he started writing in the mid 70s, same time as King did. Like King, his books were sortof shocking at the time for their violence. Here's his second and best-known novel, and here's what it's about:
Dun dun! The whole thing sounds like that, like the voiceover for the trailer for a shitty movie. But it gets so much worse! Brace yourself, because I have a sex scene for you:
I love that "moist cave" isn't enough, he has to specify that there are multiple caves and this is the moistest.
So the best thing you can say about this book is it makes Stephen King look like a master writer. (PS don't confuse this with The Mist, which is better.) And the thing is it's so boring. The plot - crazy fog makes people into crazy murderers - sounds like it might be lurid fun, right? But it's so lame that it doesn't even make it to slumming fun. It's embarrassingly bad. Even the "shocking" stuff isn't really shocking or imaginative.
There's some creepy gay stuff - like, you know how gay people are usually also pedophiles? haha wait that's offensive and wrong - and some weird hints of incest. Again, not in a fun way. Nothing about this book is any fun. It's a really bad book, guys. Really bad.
Despite all the technological advances of science, it seemed survival still depended on the action of a man. One man.
Dun dun! The whole thing sounds like that, like the voiceover for the trailer for a shitty movie. But it gets so much worse! Brace yourself, because I have a sex scene for you:
He ran his fingers downwards through the small, tidy forest of hair until he found her other even more moist cave, silky smooth with its aroused lubricity.

The Fog, an early entry in British horror legend James Herbert's career, (and this is not to be confused with John Carpenters film of the same name), after having read The Rats trilogy (which I loved the first two in the series), I wanted to go through Herbert's backlog.
Like his previous workThe Rats, the concept is pretty simple, a mysterious fog drifts in and seemingly turns people insane, either murderous or/and suicidal, and their is an extremely disturbing scene at a boys school.
Centred mainly around protagonist, Department of Environment inspector John Holman, he is seemingly the first and only so far to have survived the madness of the fog, so he becomes very valuable to the government who think he is the key.
The fog descends from one part of the Country to another, causing chaos wherever it ensues, causing mass suicides, a pilot deliberately crashing a plane, and sexual violence, and much more besides, will Holman save the day, with him having problems of his own, as his girlfriend is infected.
This had a fairly similar style to the Rats, in the sense of certain characters being introduced and then never being referred to again, but it wasn't as gripping as the Rats, and the characters in general were not memorable or likeable either, though Holman did gradually grow on me.
I would still mildly recommend this book as the concept and storyline itself is interesting and there is a lot of entertainment within the book, but a lot of filler, with a lot of scientific discussions which get dragged out, I wanted to like this more than I did, but I will still give Herbert the benefit of the doubt and will look through his other books, because The Rats, and it's follow up Lair, prove his excellent talents, as for this, it was just quite good, but average in parts, mild recommendation.
⭐⭐⭐ Stars.

Not to be confused with the John Carpenter film of the same name. Besides the title they couldn't be more different: The film is set on the American coast and is about a pirate curse; this book is set in England and concerns a fog that wreaks havok with people's sanity.
In a sense it is an environmental thriller about the dangers of environmental pollution and chemical weapons, although at its heart it is really an excuse to ask the question: what would happen if you were allowed to act on all your impulses without regard for the consequences?

I almost stopped reading this.
The Fog mostly consists of short horrifying scenes where you see what the fog does to people. These outrageous snippets are not just crammed in the book. They have a purpose in the overall story and they are placed well within the book to show the horror and degradation the fog brings with it. Depending on your personal opinion, you could consider these as either an opportunity for people to get their (un)deserved revenge or simply revealing their true terrible personalities.
I didn't like how some of the characters got a lot of space in the story only to show how they or other people around them would be influenced by the fog (the Bournemouth episode was preceded by quite a long story).
The book starts with Holman, the main character who is a sort of a linchpin that holds the whole story together, witnessing the initial disaster in a small village in Wiltishire. He would play an important role in getting rid of the threat, of course.
This book is published 40 years ago and certain things may appear a bit outdated. If you try very, very hard to pay attention to that. The Fog is so well written that most people won't care or pay attention to the outdated parts.
I know the romance isn't important to many people but for me it made this book even better. What I loved is how James Herbert didn't shrink from romance. A lot of times if there is a couple in a horror book, the relationship is hardly presented as a good thing. Someone always cheats or even worse. Maybe the authors are aware they couldn't pull it off.
Here, while it doesn't get a front seat, the romance is good and there.

I have always heard great things about The Fog, so when I finally found a copy of it, I knew I would be in for a treat. Luckily, I managed to avoid any spoilers, so I had no idea what to expect. I love that. I try to avoid blurbs and reviews of boks so I can experience the story with little or no expectations.
This book begins with a bang and, fortunately, this sets off a series of ever louder and more violent bangs. For a book published in 1975, it was surprisingly fresh. There were a few scenes that felt dated, and of course, 40 years on, the technology is going to be antiquated, but that is all of little consequence, and I hardly noticed. Herbert was a masterful purveyor of in your face horror, and I could see him giggling with maniacal glee while writing some of the more outrageous sequences. There are some scenes in The Fog that managed to make this somewhat jaded horror fan squirm, and that's no easy feat.
I won't outline the plot here. It is fairly straightforward, very well developed and the characters were very likeable, their motivations were not too far fetched as to make them ring false or come across as cartoonish. Best of all, it was easy to read. For me, anyway.
I always have loved British humor, having grown up with the likes of Monty Python and Benny Hill, and have only recently discovered that their horror is wonderful as well. I guess it was bound to happen. James Herbert was perhaps the best known modern British horror authors, and I can see why!
If I had to critique anything about this book, there are a few instances where minor players are given a little too much back story, and by the time of the third instance, a pattern did emerge. That aspect became predictable. The other would be the fight scenes. There are an abundance of them, and I did find that I automatically started skimming through some of them; punch, kick, pow! BAM!
These were trivial matters, and never took me out of the story in any way, so I can't let them reflect in my rating.
This was my second James Herbert book, the first having been Moon, which was probably not the greatest place to start with this author. The Fog is bigger and badder, and the action rarely lets you come up for air.
I know I will be indulging in more of the author's backlog, for sure. There are plenty of books, but sadly, since he has passed on, there will be no more new works from this fine author. I will have to pace them out, savor them and make them last.
Highly recommended!
Solid five star read!

The first two acts of this book reminded me of a more gruesome John Wyndham novel while the third act reminded me of 28 Days Later. The Fog is an excellent horror novel, expertly with James Herberts matter of fact style which only adds to the horror within its pages. The authors writing style does not leave anything for the readers imagination, instead chooses to describe horrid scenes in full detail. The Fog is the story about a man made contagion that drives people mad. In the hands of a lesser author this could be considered being gruesome for shock factor but this is not the case in this novel, the scenes are shocking but readers can empathise with many of the characters, many of them minor as we are provided scene after horrendous scene of how the fogs affects certain individuals. Readers will find in these scenes great character depth that never infringes on the novels overall plot, in someways they almost feel like individual short stories concerning the disaster that is the Fog. One of these, concerning a suicidal woman, is a stand out moment of horror and empathy. The only criticism that I think modern readers may find with this novel is that the relationships are stereotypical of the type of relationships that were written about in the time period of the stories setting, particularly concerning the main character, Holman, and his partner, Casey. That doesn’t mean those type relationships existed or didn’t, but I did find it to be the only part of the novel were my belief wavered.

Un gran bel tripudio apocalittico e gradguignolesco, con un paio di scene raccapriccianti ed un finale da cinque stelle che mi rimarranno in mente finchè campo.
Purtroppo non sono riuscito ad affezionarmi granchè a protagonista e personaggi, nonostante ciò rimane comunque un classico dell'orrore di tutto rispetto, invecchiato molto bene e che si legge tutto d'un fiato o quasi.
Trovarlo a tre euro in una libreria dell'usato qualche tempo fa è stato veramente un gran bel colpo di fortuna.
Quattro stelle e mezzo, angoscianti e truculente.

Excellent book by the master of horror. Scary. Nothing to do with the film The Fog by John Carpenter and starring a young beautiful Jamie Lee Curtis. Even though the film is a different story to the book it is a very good film. I recommend both.🐯👍👍🐯

I’ve read a few of James Herbert books before, rats, lair
This was was just muh not great in my opinion bit far fetched and was the sex mentioned really necessary?
Pages filler?? (Was told that) 🥰
I know there’s fans of Herbert but this just wasn’t for me.
I hope others will enjoy.
As always these are my thoughts.

Although dated in certain respects (being published in 1975), I enjoyed this horror/science-fiction novel overall. It is generally fast-paced with strange events already happening within the first few pages - definitely not a slow start! The story deals with a mysterious yellow fog that is blown by winds across the English countryside and whenever humans or other animals come into contact with it, they sooner or later lose their minds and often become extremely violent.
At times, the book is like a zombie novel because whenever the fog envelopes urban areas, large numbers of people can be affected with some very twisted results. The protagonist's journey through fog-enshrouded streets (from p. 205) is perhaps the creepiest section of the book partly because of what he merely hears going on around him, while he also risks bumping into some deranged people along the way. On another occasion (p. 196), I was reminded of the scene in Orson Welles' 1930s radio broadcast of The war of the worlds when a reporter describes the gradual approach of the martians' poisonous gas across the city towards the very building - Broadcasting House - on which he stood.
The book is a product of its time in terms of its discriminatory remarks, as it is clearly written for a predominantly white, middle-class, heterosexual, male audience. Regarding women, you get comments like 'a fiery-tempered but good-natured red-headed wife' (p. 49) or that Britain's Principal Medical Officer 'was certainly sweet, but she looked no brighter than the average housewife' (p. 140). More subtly, the protagonist, having spent c. 10 days in hospital is the one driving himself and his girlfriend back home even though they are travelling in her car (pp. 37-45). The racism only comes across once - when it is stated that the
In terms of sexual orientation, Summers, a deputy headmaster, is presented as both homosexual and a paedophile in terms of his attractions (if not necessarily his actions) in a way that suggests that all homosexuals are also paedophiles. This issue, of paedophilia being presented as an aspect of homosexuality, was raised as a matter of concern by Anton in the Horror Aficionados May 2013 group read topic. Today, most people would probably not assume that homosexuals were automatically also paedophiles and so Anton's concerns about this discredited cliché are reasonable. However, it's necessary to remember that the book was written in the early '70s and that until 1967 - just eight years before the book's publication - homosexuality had been illegal in Britain. In addition to this, despite the age of majority being lowered from 21 to 18 in 1969, and the age of consent for heterosexuals being 16 since 1885, it was not (amazingly) until 1994 that 18 to 20-year-old males could have homosexual sex! (I thank David for pointing out below that it was 16 to 17-year-olds who were permitted to have gay sex from 2001.) So when summers is described as having been attracted to 'boys' who had been called up to serve in the British army during the 1940s, the term would've been correct at the time in that the 18 to 20-year-old recruits were legally children. Thus, Summers' attraction to them would've been seen as paedophiliac not only at the time but also for nearly twenty years after The Fog was first published, since it would have remained the case that anyone aged 21 or older engaging in gay sex with someone under 21 would be regarded as a criminal - and also in many people's minds, a paedophile. (I have benefited here from using the British section of Wikipedia's article on the ages of consent in Europe.)
So some people today might find some of Herbert's attitudes, or at least those of his main character, to be objectionable if read from a modern perspective. However, if the book is read as a product of its time, then one could ignore these chauvinistic attitudes and just follow the narrative, not unlike setting aside the racism and snobbery in a work by H. P. Lovecraft, for example, just to enjoy the horror.
Nevertheless, Herbert does seem to root for the underdog as some victims get revenge on those who have mistreated or neglected them - a poacher who had been beaten by a retired colonel with a walking stick, a clerk bullied by a bank manager, a working woman whose drunken husband neglects her, a man whose wife has an affair, and so on.
From the narrative perspective, it was interesting to read these vignettes on the individual lives of people who were affected by the fog, although after a while I began to notice that much of the text was concerned with these disconnected or isolated stories. It's not ideal to notice the writer's techniques if you merely want to enjoy the story! However, in the second half of the novel, the storyline focuses much more on the experiences of the central character, Holman, making it a more continuous narrative.
Finally (to let out my OCD side a bit), typos and other errors were scarce, unlike in so many works published today. Nevertheless, you do get oddities like: 'uneaven pace' (p. 159), 'load and clear' (for 'loud and clear' [p. 207]), the admittedly common enough 'comprised of' (p. 266) and '...he pulled farther [sic] towards him until their bodies touched' (p. 190) - surely, he meant 'closer'?

By the time he died last year, James Herbert was a mainstream success, but his two earliest books, The Rats and The Fog, are nasty, mean, angry pieces of anti-establishment sleaze torn straight out of his id, redeemed by Herbert’s complete conviction to Go There. That conviction is what keeps these two books in your hands long after you might otherwise throw them across the room. Read either book, and especially The Fog, and you’re like a baby gripping a 10,000 volt cable, hands smoking, unable to tear them away from this scorchingly angry (and deeply uneven) book, even as your brain turns to cinders.

A brilliant hybrid of a novel. Herbert hits all the highpoints that make a great thriller, then casually crosses over into the horror territory he would soon become an acknowledged master of, with scenes that will stay with you to your grave.

From 1975
I did not really like this book. A terrible earthquake in a village in England leads to the release of heavy yellow fog that turns people and animals into grisly killers. There are some good action scenes but I thought there was a lot of filler.
It reminded me of many movies. Above all Shivers by David Cronenburg because that is also from 1975. It doesn’t have an earthquake or fog. But something mysterious makes the people all attack and rape each other.

Absolutely Terrifying.
Yep, James Herbert you have a fan for life now Its really good to find authors that are from your own country The fact James Herbert the author is from my old hometown! And comes out with the books he does is just mind blowing to me. He is up there with Stephen king for me and is truly Talented
I Picked up this book when I was a teen, on holiday, It was a book left in my aunty and uncles holiday Villa, I got into a few pages and it truly disturbed me to the core, to the point where I even felt I was far too young at the time to be reading such a scary book. But the few pages I did read stayed with me for life.
Especially the one with the cows and the farmer I have no idea why. So I felt it was time to Buy this book for good. I brought it on Amazon.co.uk and snuggled down with my kobo and candle ((For that added effect!)) and started reading..
This time he Brought up a man, A man covered from head to foot with dust and dirt. A man who gibbered and screamed. A man who had to be restrained by 4 others. From running back and throwing himself into the blacken depths. A man who was insane. A peaceful village in Wiltshire is shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled,
I couldn't put it down. You feel like you are a 3rd eye to all that is happening in the story and I honestly have to say This is one of the most intense horror books I have read James really doesn't hold back after a few pages in, And I went and got all of his books I had to so there will be more reviews of his books to come!
And I couldn't believe it was written in the 70s you would think it was a modern day Horror book It has a sort of zombie feel to it too. Its a total jaw dropping horror fun ride of a book and A book a recommend for any horror fan's collection.

I am sure I have said several times that James Herbert was one of the writers I gained my introduction to horror from (the other being Stephen King). Now at the time a mixture of nativity and a limited range of choices (not sure if that is really the result of the former) meant that second hand markets and rummage sales were the only sources I knew of.
The result was that I devoured the early Herbert's which left a lasting image (or at least to start with) of English horror - it took the likes of Brian Lumley and Ramsey Campbell (as well as many more) to correct that some years later. However do not get me wrong - James Herbert is (or was, his passing I feel was before his time) a master at his trade - but he wasnt afraid to learn and evolve. His early works were visceral and shocking, his latter were subtle and thoughtful - and as you read through is body of work you can see how he changes and evolves. Now I personally feel both styles have their place and both can be entertaining and shocking in equal amounts (although in different ways).
The fog was one of his earlier books (his second to be precise) and as such it is a little shaky and some of the character interaction is now a little dated (hey it was written in 1975) but the premise is still as readable and entertaining was it was back in the mid80s when I first read it ( a rather battered copy borrowed from a friend). If ever you want to read the spectrum of what horror can be James Herbert and his illustrious career can be no worse place to start (even if there are a few wobbles along the way)

While definitely cheesy and trashy it was oddly unsatisfying.
This was kind of a series of vignettes of different people being exposed to the fog, going crazy and doing some gruesome shit. For some reason the author felt compelled to inform us about all the weird sex stuff they liked to do before they killed anyone. Some of the vignettes seem to be played for humour but kinda fell flat.
The main story is about this guy that’s exposed to the fog early and becomes immune so he’s the only man who can save England. He’s a bit of a dick and has a weird relationship with his girlfriend. She’s overly close and affectionate with her father so he wants her to move out but not move in with him, he must have his privacy. They have a sex scene that wasn’t the cringiest thing I’ve read but it was a bit funny for some reason.
Something was just off with this one I can’t put my finger on, I felt like I was just waiting for it to be done.

This was a re-read for me. I first read The Fog many years ago, and based on memories of being creeped out by the sense of threatening dread within its pages, I'd given it a four star rating. I've now 'bumped' that to a five.
This is early James Herbert; and it's easy to forget how very good his earlier stuff was.

Another return to my teens with this re-reading of a very classic James Herbert horror for me. A noxious cloud escapes from a bizarre earthquake in middle England creating a deadly fog with some devastating attributes. And I when I say devastating, I mean it turns ordinary people into psychotic killers! This book was a huge hit for the UK horror genre on the time, solidifying Herbert's place as a huge bestseller in the genre! A book not for the fainthearted, or indeed, easily triggered! Later it was made into a John Carpenter movie. A classic book, not movie! 7 out of 12.

This was a really good read from James Herbert. I don't know what it is about some of these older novels that I just really like. This was before the days of modern technology and a lot of folks might think of this as an outdated story, but for me it was great. I love this author and I love his writing style. This wasn't what I would consider as a scary book, but in a way it was. It was fast paced and full of action. Kept me guessing what would be around the next corner as John was lost in the depths of the Fog.
April 18, 2021
A mysterious fog seeps out of the ground near Salisbury and drifts(?) towards London sending people who pass through it mad. A fairly solid horror only weakened by the seemingly unrelated sexual episodes that appear within it. How, in the midst of the growing threat of the fog, does the author manage to include the beginning of a lesbian relationship, a lengthy and detailed sex scene between the two women, and then end of the relationship before returning to the fog. I hear that these scenes are part of his trademark. I have no complaint about sex scenes within novels, but here they just seemed suspect, having a different purpose than enhancing the book.
May 7, 2013
Starts right off with the action; several scenes will stay with the reader for a while! Reminded me somewhat of his novel THE DARK as far as the structure of the novel went... I will be catching up on several of his other books soon!

The Fog is one of those books that would stare down at me from my fathers bookshelf when I was little. Titles like Wolfen, It's Alive, The Rats and The Fog, with covers so terrible I was scared and fascinated at the same time. Now, I'm trying to find those same books and read them myself, wondering if the stories live up to my childhood impressions.
The Fog didn't disappoint. The main story of how the Fog came to be and how it will be destroyed, while believable enough, was a bit boring. It's the horror interludes(and there are many), the scenes of random people throughout the story and how they're affected by The Fog, that make this book so entertaining. These episodes are gory, funny, tragic and so creative. I loved reading them.
I would recommend this book to any horror fan. It's a classic.
4 stars
