The first episode of this trilogy was horrific in every sense, people were dispatched left and right, quite often in the most graphic of ways – not even babies were spared the rats rage. The backdrop was the squalor of London in the 70’s, and what became a breeding ground for the mutant Black Rat. His first outing of the rodents was in 1974 hit ‘The Rats’. Herbert returns to the world of Rats, big fecking rats with an axe to grind. ‘Lair’ is the sixth novel by the greatest and most prolific English horror writer of all time, the man needs no introduction so we will jump straight in and look at James Herbert’s sequel to The Rats (1974).
