The Liverpool Literary Festival Pays Respects To James Herbert At Williamson Tunnels.

There can be no doubt that James Herbert in his life time was a colossus of the literature world, a man who bought a quiet dignity to the world of writing and who should be seen as the Godfather of modern British Horror. When Mr. Herbert passed on at the end of March at the end of 69, he left behind him a space that quite possibly will never be filled and for his fans in Liverpool the unique chance to see him being interviewed at the iconic Williamson Tunnels as part of the city’s Literary Festival will now sadly never be witnessed.
