Special Guest of Honour: James Herbert
JAMES HERBERT created the modern mass-market horror genre with the publication of his first ground-breaking novel, The Rats, in 1974 (for the record, Stephen King's Carrie was published a few months later). Since then he has reigned as Britain's undisputed #1 author of chiller fiction, with more than 20 novels to his credit—which have sold more than fifty million copies world-wide.
