James John Herbert [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (8 April 1943 – 20 March 2013) was one of Britain’s most prolific and biggest selling horror novelists. His stories are notable for their highly descriptive narratives and graphic depictions of sex, carnage, and destruction. His first book, ''The Rats'', was rejected by several publishers, but was finally published in 1974, and sold out within three weeks, despite (or because of) widespread criticism from reviewers for its graphic depictions of mutilation and death, some going as far to label its social commentary about the government’s neglect of the post-UsefulNotes/WorldWarII London suburbs and the underclasses as too extreme. At the time of his death, he had written twenty-four novels, several short stories, and even one graphic novel, ''The City''. Some of his works have been adapted into other media, most notably ''The Rats'', which was adapted into the film ''Film/DeadlyEyes'' in 1982, and even into a 1985 computer game, titled… ''[[ShapedLikeItself The Rats]]'' for the UsefulNotes/Commodore64 and UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum.

As Hitler was staring upon defeat and death, he didn't care at all that the bioweapons he was about to unleash would devastate his own people as much as it would devastate his enemies - and everyone else.
