Book Description

Haunted is a chilling supernatural horror novel set in a remote, decaying Scottish mansion where a psychic investigator confronts a powerful and malevolent haunting. As violent manifestations escalate and the house’s tragic past is uncovered, the novel blends visceral terror with psychological depth, exploring grief, repression, and the destructive persistence of evil. Often cited as one of Herbert’s most intense and accomplished works, it showcases his ability to fuse raw horror with emotional weight.

 

About Author

James Herbert (1943–2013) was a British author best known for his influential horror novels, which helped define modern popular horror fiction in the UK. Born in London, Herbert worked as a journalist and art director before achieving sudden success with his debut novel The Rats (1974), which became an international bestseller.

Herbert’s fiction combined graphic horror with psychological tension and social commentary, often set in contemporary Britain. Over his career he wrote more than 20 novels, including The Fog, Moon, The Dark, and Haunted, many of which were adapted for film or television. His later work increasingly blended supernatural horror with emotional and philosophical themes.

Awarded an OBE in 2010 for services to literature, Herbert remained one of Britain’s most commercially successful horror writers, with his books translated worldwide and millions of copies sold.
