In the classical tradition (now the cinema is gradually rediscovering) the great urban catastrophe caused by an unforeseeable accident, this "Fog" and mysterious yellowish gushing from a crack in one morning English countryside and begins its slow and deadly march on London, is a famous star of not less than the Triffids by John Wyndham. Strange acts of violence occur in quiet places, reasonable people or commit acts fearing inexplicable, absurd acts, bestial crimes. Gradually, the picture is accurate, the circle tightens around the metropolis in a crescendo of horror and desperate helplessness. What this enemy rolling stop? There is a brain, a will in this misty ball of death? The fog is part of the wealth of current science fiction catastrophic but English is a novel late, after several years of catastrophe English al'età gold of the 50 '. For this reason, although from those assumptions Herbert focuses not so much. Times have changed. Youth movements and schools of thought to the alternative "system" have changed post-war society, punk, mods, rockers. Herbert is free to exploit
England for something that is not only critical to a company plaster and hypocritical and so can a lot more fun, while remaining lightweight. Herbert writes an exciting horror novel, which I think should be elected to manual for those wishing to attempt in the genre. The fog is unleashed as a result of an experiment in biological warfare, occurred in the past (so there is a government conspiracy, but belongs to an ancient time, the 50s of the Cold War). The military is always stupidly hard but less omnipotent and less perfect than before, in fact they are cornered in the meetings of government and forced to surrender, to confess. Rely on a semicivile for help: we see an influx of works such as 007 or the first police series, where an external player help law enforcement officers, has abandoned any realistic fiction. Herbert heavily winks an eye at the cinema, writing a great novel, but also a 'good script. Curiously, no one has ever made into a film by this novel, unlike other things Herbert, perhaps because it is something really heavy. James Herbert
fact it goes down hard.
The mist that spreads the island crazy people who commit heinous crimes. Severed heads brought to the walk, pedophilia, mass suicides, aircraft launched against skyscrapers. Herbert wisely dispenses an enormous cruelty to ironic and funny episodes, while continuing with the main storyline and keeping the voltage a thousand.
Herbert said: "I am very insecure of being a writer and do not understand why so much has happened." You can answer: why do you write well, built through challenging and always keep the tension high! So I highly recommend this book to all fans of horror and science fiction.
