READY TO BE TERRIFIED?
A group of tales by the English master of horror stories, James Herbert, OBE (1943-2013), winner in 2010 of the World Horror Convention Grand Master Award.
Well read and worn already, but still worth a place in your horror collection - if you dare - they are:
The Rats - first published 1974; this New English Library printing 1989 [Should be given an award as the most gruesome book of the year…]
The Fog - first published 1975; this New England Library printing 1987 [A powerful story of murder, mayhem and madness…]
Lair - first published 1979; this New English Library printing 1989 [A chilling and gruesome novel which moves at a tremendous pace…]
Shrine - first published 1983; this New English Library printing 1984 [Will strike chills down your spine…]
Domain - first published 1984; this New English Library printing 1988 [It is what he implies, rather than what he so skilfully describes…]

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
