The ghosts of Sleath/'48 - James Herbert (David Ash #2)

THE GHOSTS OF SLEATH

Can a ghost haunt a ghost? Can the dead reach out and touch the living?
Can ancient evil be made manifest?

These are the questions that confront psychic investigator David Ash when he delves into the mysterious events terrorizing the community of Sleath, a small, quaint village hidden away in the Chiltern Hills. In Sleath he will fear for his own sanity as each dark secret is unveiled and terrible, malign forces are unleashed. For the full horror will be beyond imagination... Sleath. Where the dead will walk the streets.

‘48

In 1945, Hitler unleashes the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance.

Hoke, an American pilot and one of a tiny minority with a blood group unaffected by the killer disease, has survived among the debris and the dead of London for three years. Now, in ’48, he is running for his life—hunted through the ruined city’s ravaged streets by a desperate group of slow-dying Fascist Blackshirts. They’re after his blood.
