The Jonah - Unsigned trade edition In The Jonah, Herbert once again strays from his horror roots to focus on his latest love: supernatural fiction. Blessed with an eye for detail, he takes the methodical police procedural and breaks with its conventions, infusing his concoction with the bizarre, the preternatural, the introspective, and a little good-natured popcorn entertainment. However, for those who yearn for the Herbert of old, theres still plenty of that ghostly and ominous foreshadowing to shock your socks off. It may be a turning point in Herberts fiction, a slow boil set to the starboard side, but The Jonahs cresting waves will still batter the coastline and overrun its dunes. Take every precaution before you enter this squall. Otherwise, you may just find yourself clinging to life before the whirlpool swallows you under. This edition of The Jonah includes seven bonus essays and stories by James Herbert: Comic Relief, They Dont Like Us, Bowled Over By the Beast, Breakfast, Haloweens Child, Others, and The Ghost Hunter. - Centipede Press Contains artworks by Ben Baldwin & Rodger Gerberding.

The Survivor - Unsigned trade edition Written like a barnstorming page-turner, The Survivor finds Herbert channeling a wicked wizard on the outskirts of sanity, willing to push the boundaries of classic horror, merging its penchant for shock value with the supernatural elements of mysticism. The result is a depraved tale about life, death, and the balance of good versus evil thats as horrifying as it is thought-provoking. At times The Survivor plays out with the sort of thrills you might seek in a slasher picture. And as any well-informed fan would know, follow horrors golden rules or suffer the consequences. But if you want a failsafe, make sure you have your holy water chalice and rosary beads handy. They may be your only salvation this side of heaven. This edition of The Survivor includes a lengthy interview with James Herbert, as well as some rare photographs. - Centipede Press Contains artworks by Karen Bagchee & Rodger Gerberding.
