Furry little rodents, slowly chewing their food away. What food? Well, that's another story. An old abandoned house in East London, surrounded by trees and bushes, so long inhabited almost no one remembered it was still out there. But it was. An unwary vagrant enters it, totally oblivious in his own drunkenness, he never made it out. Something festers inside the house, and now, now it won't be long before it starts to spread out into the city, to feed again. And again... Do you like rats? Well, you are certainly not going to love them more after this one. Nasty, gruesome, gory, just excellent. A few anticlimactic chapters, but other than that. Ratness perfection. It's everything you can expect from a horror rat novel. And then add some! Still remaining, the movie (1982) Until next time, ----------------------------------------------- Pequeños peludos roedores, lentamente masticando su comida. Qué comida? Bueno, eso es otra historia.

Un vagabundo incauto entra, totalmente perdido en su ebriedad, nunca vuelve a salir. Algo putrefacto crece dentro de la casa, y ahora, ahora no va a tardar mucho en esparcirse a través de la ciudad, para alimentarse otra vez. Y otra vez... Te gustan las ratas? Bueno, ciertamente no vas quererlas mucho más después de esto. Asqueroso, repulsivo, sangriento, simplemente excelente. Un par de capítulos anticlimáticos, pero más allá de eso. Perfección ratona. Es todo lo que podés esperar de una novela de horror de ratas. Y todavía más! Queda pendiente la película (1982) Hasta la próxima,Rating Out Of Books The Rats (Rats #1)

Old school horror fun! This was the kind of book that I read as a teen in the early 80s that caused me to become a life long fan of horror. A rollicking good time. :)The first of the Rats trilogy, A special 40th anniversary edition of the classic, bestselling novel that launched James Herbert's career.I read this book many years ago in some form of paperback and quite enjoyed it. This is a beautiful hard cover edition with a die cut cover published by Pan Macmillan, so how could I pass it up.6/1/15 Update.I purchased the Centipede Press set also which are a set of 3 Herbert books.This is number 40 of 300 signed numbered copies, signed by:James HerbertJason
3.5*Rats!! Lots of rats! I've got the paperback copy with a white background, and a giant rat - smiling like a Cheshire cat, on the front cover - which looks like it should be down-in-the-sewers with the filthy vermin. The denizens of London, become rat-fodder when a new species of rat, breeds with the normal-sized rats and pandemonium, soon ensues. They've found themselves a new delicacy; and now, it's a fight for survival, from an insatiable enemy that wants nothing more than to eat your heart
"Something landed on his bonnet with a thump causing him to swing round to the front again. One of the giant rats was staring at him through the windscreen, its evil face almost level with his own, the distance between them only two feet, a thin sheet of glass his only protection. THE RATS....not your average ordinary big rats....but ugly humongous bristled creatures larger than a dog....attacking type creatures with teeth like electric saws and a taste for human blood. They first arrive in
Well, this book has definitely been a change from the norm for me, and wow, this was some tremendously freaky shit! I spotted this book in a sale, and seeing the hoard of positive reviews in regards to it, my curiosity got the better of me, and I thought I'd give it a go.On reading the premise of this book, I thought it sounded rather twee, and knowing this was kind of old school horror, I thought I'd be safe.I wasn't. This was brutal from the first page. The descriptions Herbert created really
Rats by James herbert is horror at its very best i loved this book sent chills down my spine i hate rodents & reading this i hate RATS even more.well written no wonder this book sent Herbert career sky rocketing blood sucking rats devour everything in their wake even a baby that made me sick what else can i say BLOODY BRILLIANT 5 big stars
OMFG this is about rats, lots of fucking rats, not just your average normal run of the mill rats but super big fucking rats that have taken a liking to human flesh. I listened to this on audio and have to say it's pretty entertaining, in an upper class, hoighty-toighty kind of narration, we get to know various characters some very quickly as they get, well, eaten and a few others that are in it for the long run. Decent story, enjoyable horror, plenty of cringing and I have to say, where would we
