It's by no means a triumph of 'literary achievement' (as such things might be counted), but it's a seminal novel in the birth of 'modern' horror. Summing up.if you haven't read The Fog (or for that matter, The Rats) then it should be on your reading list. In this regard, The Fog acquires the sort of quasi-documentary style that is typified by Michael Crichton novels. Throughout his novel, Herbert relies on a detached prose style that lends itself well to recounting the increasingly gruesome toll taken by the psychotic victims of the Fog.Īnd, Herbert avoids the obvious cop-out in making the Fog an occult or supernatural menace there is a sf subtext to the plot that, in my opinion, gives the book an edge over his related work, The Dark (1980). This is interspersed with vignettes gleefully depicting the various acts of mayhem and gory atrocities that the Fog-crazed denizens of the British countryside and city are wont to indulge in. The main plot thread centers on the adventures of John Holman and his mission to defeat the Fog. John Holman, a square-jawed, no-nonsense Department of the Environment employee, has survived a firsthand encounter with the Fog, and quickly becomes the lead actor in the government's efforts to locate, and counter, the phenomenon.īut for Holman and the UK, time is running out. All people and animals exposed to the Fog undergo a rapid loss of their inhibitions, and revert into a crazed fugue state, one that sees them overly prone to carry out violent acts with no hesitation or remorse. A strange gas escapes from the newly opened fissure in the ground, and begins to spread over the countryside. I will say the plot is relatively straightforward: a freak earthquake takes place near a small village located close to the Salisbury Plain in southern Britain.
