James Herbert

I'm not into high literature, but I think all my books are literate.

I grew up in the East End of London, the youngest of three boys in a Catholic household. Both my parents were market traders and worked seven days a week.

For me, a good friend is someone you might only see once or twice a year but each time it feels as though you've just seen them last week.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.
