A special 50th anniversary edition of the classic bestselling horror novel The Rats
‘The Rats is splatterpunk deluxe. Not only great, gory fun but a prime example of what was once called “the British nasty.” I loved it then, love it still” – Stephen King, author of The Shining and Carrie The first victim was a former paper salesman drinking himself into oblivion down by the docks. Next a child and her beloved dog, then six drifters fighting over a bottle of gin – all devoured by a black, writhing mass of giant rats. As London descends into panicked chaos, high school teacher Harris is pulled head-first into the nightmare when a student arrives with a rat bite on his hand. And he quickly realises that this is no ordinary creature, nothing like anyone has ever seen before. With their intelligent, wicked-looking eyes and razor-sharp teeth, the balance of power between man and rat has suddenly – shockingly, horribly – shifted. The rats have had their first taste of human blood. And they’re hungry for more . . .‘Lean, mean, and nasty as punk, The Rats are here! Capable of inciting riots and causing bloodshed’ – Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House ‘A seminal work from a king of British horror’ – Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual With a foreword by Neil Gaiman, New York Times bestselling author of Good Omens
