Synopsis

"Not for the nervous."  —Daily Mirror

The mutant white rat had grown and mated, creating offspring in its own image. They dominated the others, the dark-furred ones, who foraged for food and brought it back to the Lair. The dark rats were restless, tormented by a craving they could not satisfy—but the white slug-like thing that ruled them knew. Its two heads weaved to and fro, and a stickiness drooled from its mouth, as it remembered the taste of human flesh.

Reviews

Popular British author Herbert offers LAIR as part of his horror trilogy, which also includes RATS and DOMAIN. Restless and tormented by their craving for human flesh, huge mutant rats return in full force, this time to Epping Forest, a heavily populated area on the outskirts of London. Gareth Armstrong creates a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails, hero--sort of a British John Wayne--who works for Ratkill, an extermination agency charged with destroying the attacking rats. As the screaming and squealing of numerous animals and people attacked by the rats give the listener goose bumps, Gareth Armstrong ratchets the tension and pitch of his narration into a climactic flurry. This is the stuff of nightmares. K.A.T. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
