The Rats

Book Description

A special 50th anniversary edition of the classic bestselling horror novel The Rats.

‘Splatterpunk deluxe. Not only great, gory fun but a prime example of what was once called "the British nasty." I loved it then, love it still‘
– Stephen King


The first victim was a former paper salesman drinking himself into oblivion down by the docks. Next a child and her beloved dog, then six drifters fighting over a bottle of gin - all devoured by a black, writhing mass of giant rats.

As London descends into panicked chaos, high school teacher Harris is pulled head-first into the nightmare when a student arrives with a rat bite on his hand. And he quickly realises that this is no ordinary creature, nothing like anyone has ever seen before.

With their intelligent, wicked-looking eyes and razor-sharp teeth, the balance of power between man and rat has suddenly - shockingly, horribly - shifted.

The rats have had their first taste of human blood.

And they're hungry for more . . .

‘Lean, mean, and nasty as punk, The Rats are here! Capable of inciting riots and causing bloodshed‘
- Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House


‘A seminal work from a king of British horror‘
– Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual
