James Herbert\'s 15th novel continues the high standard of Haunted, albeit in a completely different style. The cover copy probably overstates the case - \"You\'ll Be Afraid to Laugh\" runs the tagline - as Creed is by no means an outright comedy, but it does have it\'s rotting tongue in cheek on more than one occasion. This isn\'t quite the knowing post-modernism of Wes Craven\'s Scream, but it certainly comes close on occasion. What makes the book a success is that these flashes of blackest humour derive from the voice of the main character - Joe Creed - a cynical member of the despised tabloid paparazzi, a slob whose only real interest is himself, and with no belief in anything supernatural. Just watching Creed struggle through his career is entertaining enough, and the fact that he isn\'t some flawless hero makes his reactions to the supernatural more believable. Add in an unwanted child dumped on him by his estranged wife and his delicate balancing of doing the right thing and earning money makes for some great drama. While there are moments of black comedy however, Creed for the most part works as a successful horror novel, in fact this novel contains some of Herbert\'s most chilling material, with Creed being harassed by a bizarre nocturnal visitor and doubting his own sanity. If there is a criticism here then the ending feels a little rushed, but with it\'s winning combination of chills, black humour, and an intriguing lead character Creed is never less than entertaining reading, and one of Herbert\'s best books.
