About this listen
Please note: contains extreme violence and adult themes. Mature listeners only.
The peaceful life of a village in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered by a disaster which strikes without reason or explanation, leaving behind it a trail of misery and horror. A yawning, bottomless crack spreads through the earth, out of which creeps a fog that resembles no other. Whatever it is, it must be controlled; for wherever it goes it leaves behind a trail of disaster as hideous as the tragedy that marked its entry into the world. The fog, quite simple, drives people insane.

Editor reviews
Perhaps his best book, The Fog is James Herbert's terrifying thriller where contact with a mysterious fog turns the most innocent of people into homicidal maniacs. Given an extra dose of tension from the sly and gravelly voice of veteran narrator Sean Barrett, the poor folks in little Wiltshire don't stand a chance. The menacing and uncontrollable fog takes over, leaving the town of Wiltshire devastated and on the hunt for more victims. James Herbert is at his prime here and when paired with the dramatic performance from Sean Barrett, The Fog is an audiobook not to be missed.

Good, but overdone erotica.
I thought that the story itself was very good and well told. However, the graphic descriptive sex scenes were given in too much needless detail. This I felt was not needed and had the effect of detracting from the story, making it less of a thriller than it would otherwise have been.

A chilling read through
Sean Barrett's gravely narration sets the tone perfectly and creates a tension filled chiller with the fear of the unknown hanging in the air like the foreboding fog of the title.

Wasn’t too bad
Enjoyed listening to the narrator! Story wasn’t so great though all in all was worth listening to just for the narrator

Entertaining
A really enjoyable read that I couldn’t put down. Narrator was fantastic. The violence is graphic but that’s appropriate to the genre. I’ll be buying more from this author.

Great story. If you like chiller/thriller stories you'll love this.
UPDATED REVIEW: I first read the book and enjoyed it so much that when I joined Audible I decided that at some point, if I came across it, I would get this book. Can't rate it highly enough.
It's been brought to my attention that my original review (below) 'may confuse other customers that are interested in the audiobook'. That was in no way my intention but was meant more as a reference point.
If you've seen the film but are new to the book then you'll be surprised at the difference. Just remember...the book came first.
I saw the film first many years ago. Having liked it so much I decided to buy the paperback...it was even better than the movie, but it's usually the way of things I find.
Set NOT in a USA coastal village but in the English West-Country, initially, this is the story of....what? Well, I'm not going to spoil it for you but I will tell you it has nothing to do with cursed dead pirates treasure.
