I was Just about to post this,

I am really looking forward to this, I have not read the book yet, I am really clad BBC are doing this.

James is my second favorite author

I Read most of his books, I love Fluke, Nobody true, The Cottage, The Rats Trilogy, Once, Haunted, the Moon, The Others (Was Outstanding) and The Dark scared the **** out of me.

I was not fan of The Fog book, I didn't like that much, i can seem to get to 48 either!

I started reading his new Book Ash!

The Secret of Crickley Hall
Season 1 Episode 1 of 3

Drama following parallel storylines that chronicle strange events at a mysterious building where secrets from the past threaten the sanity of its modern-day inhabitants. ...

I has assumed that this aired over Halloween. That was the plan and it was screened on BBC America a few weeks back. Have it here to watch but not had a chance yet, Herbert is one of the more under appreciated horror writers out there. 48 is the most thrilling novel ever written and one I really hope will get the respect it deserves

Really would like to see the BBC or someone do the Ash stories. There was one film based on the novel Haunted with Aidan Quinn back in the 90s and it was rather good but the Ghosts of Sleath has far more potential as a big screen adventure. Though that said the extreme violence that Herbert peppers throughout his novels would put a lot of people off.

Dozen Wicked Words

Ah, IMDb tells me Maisie Williams is in it, so my failing eyesight did not deceive me.

Tindie

So what did everyone think of the first episode,

I really liked it so far, it was really decent first episode , really good acting, My dogs was barking at TV (I think my dogs was get out lol ) with scene were dog was trying get out the house lol

Nicely told story, look forward to next week

& who was that creepy figure right at the end

Was a big Herbert fan back in my twenties. Read the Secret of.... and remember being dssapointed by the end. That said I liked the first episode and think the story can be improved by being shortened for TV.

Looking forward to next week.

That was cribben.

So the dog was obviously taken because it's barking would have annoyed Cribben even more and the flash flood deaths were more than just an accident, i.e. locked into the basement.

What does all this have to do with the missing son though?

Tindie

:eek:

I'm also a big fan but that book creeped the hell out of me, I had a really hard time reading. If I had that in my imagination there's no way in hell I'd tell it to anyone.

The really depressing part being, it's partly based on something real.

I'm really enjoying the series, a good old fashioned ghost story and very well acted and filmed. I'm really feeling for the husband.

Tindie

I think they should another one with Others and Maybe Nobody true!

Lingua Franca

Nobody True would make a great show. I don't think you could show The Others on TV.

Yeah. your right others, It better in movie, they would cut a lot of book if was TV movie.

It's hard to believe it was based on some true stories . Horribly scary but at least u could say it was make believe . Yuck
