![]() ![]() His use of language is very clever as he builds and builds the tension until it has to come to an inevitable end. ![]() James Herbert is brilliant at conveying images that stay with you and send chills down your spine. ![]() Towards the end of the book it is clear that the cottage is having a massive effect on their lives and on their relationship in particular. It feels very much like a diary entry and he hints throughout that awful events took place during their time there. James Herbert builds up the tension from the very beginning the story is narrated by Mike Stringer, he's recounting what happened to him and his girlfriend Midge when they bought the cottage. The Magic Cottage isn't terrifying but it does make you think twice about the noises in the night. The only other James Herbert book that I have read is The Secret of Crickley Hall when I decided to delve back into the thriller/horror genre, he seemed like a very good place to start. ![]()
