The Rats and the Fog are enjoyable, partly down to how new and amateur he was. I think it's important to learn to appreciate first efforts because everyone has to start somewhere.
Domain and 48 have to be my favourites. I still love how he portrayed Londoners, the way most Americans parody them so often. There always seems to be a character reserved for Bob Hoskins in there somewhere. |

I started reading one years ago but it scared me silly.
The guy standing in the tower block watching the bomb drop then the rats in the tunnels. I believe it was called the rats but not sure. |

That was Domain, where London gets nuked and brings back the mutant rats. The end scenes are just heartstopping! |

I have a good imagination. I'm also a fan of adventuring in scary places and not much scared of anything these days. But I can still read that book and feel my heart race when there's just three of them left desperately fighting a river of rats from the tiny boat before they all start plummetting onto them from London bridge. And the other guy lost in the tunnels on his own :-/ |

"I've got most of his. I liked Domain best. Shame he died. Brilliant author.
I agree, apparently his last novel was great. Ash it was called!
I've got Ash but not read it yet. "
Me neither, I'm not mature enough to enjoy his later novels yet

It wont be as scary as it can be unless you go through those ordeals first! |

Loved every one of them and can’t believe there won’t be any more. If I had to pick a few I would say try others or the Jonah. He had an uncanny way of making want to read on from the end of the first sentence. |

every time I'm on the underground and it stops between stations I still have a moment of fear where my brain screams " the rats are coming" and I read it years ago |

My fave is Portent...closely followed by Ash. I read The Rats when I was about 8 or 9 (I've been a voracious reader since I was a nipper), I pinched it off my Dad's bookshelf and scared myself witless! |

Portent was awful.... made me stop reading him for a while, until I was tempted back by "The Magic Cottage".
I read the "Rats" and "Lair" years ago, really good books and I'm not really into horrors.
Loved "The Fog" too. |

Rats! The last book of his I read was Secret at Crickley Hall...didn't like it but can't remember anything about it bar I didn't like it. |
