The book starts off with an earthquake that not only decimates half a small town, but releases the deadly fog that will become, in a way, the antagonist in the story. The Fog isn't quite what I thought it was going to be. This classic James Herbert book was on Stephen's huge index of must-reads, and we certainly weren't going to question the King's recommendation or turn away from the $2 price tag. My Thoughts: A couple of weeks ago, armed with a copy of Stephen King's Danse Macabre, Tom and I made our way through the maze that is the Brisbane Bookfest looking for some classic, quality horror to add to our collection. The fog, quite simply, drives people insane. Whatever it is, it must be controlled for whereever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Synopsis: The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes witout reason or explanation, leaving behind it a train of misery and horror.
