Just finished James Herbert's book The Fog.
Lots of folks get a couple pages of development, then get fogged and die.
But I just started another book of his called The Rats.
The first two characters have both been ratted (to death).
Is back to back Herberts a mistake?
Other used bookstore guy: "You should just order Spider Robinson online. You'll die before you find them in person."
