Sleath.Quiet,peaceful.A small village hidden away in the Chiltern Hills,almost forgotten by the modern world.Nothing much seems to happen here,little disturbs the centuries-old tranquility.Until the ghosts begin to appear.And frighteningly bizarre events start to occur. Psychic investigator David Ash,a man burdened by the dark secret of his own past,is sent to Sleath to investigate the phenomena and his discoveries there drive him to the very edge of his own sanity.The incidents grow worse until,in the final night of horror, awesome and malign forces are unleashed in a supernatural storm that threatens to consume the village itself.
For Sleath is not what it seems.And the dead have returned for a reason.Layer by layer,James Herbert skilfully unveils Sleath's deadly secrets,building to a finale that is breathtakingly horrific in its intensity.'The Ghosts of Sleath' lays claim to being Herbert's finest work yet (then 1994) and will thrill millions of readers who are familiar with his stories.See also rja2083 for another SIGNED copy and rja122,rja386,rja526,rja529, rja530,and rjaz1289,and rja2096 - rja2100 inclusive for other James Herbert titles.
