But the “miracles” may have a much darker source. a b Weber, Bruce (24 March 2013). "James Herbert, British Horror Novelist, Dies at 69". The New York Times. There are obviously alot of religious themes and undertones here, which is fresh off the exorcist and the omen and all the other 70s and 80s religion horror stories. I enjoyed the character of Fenn and Father Hagan and Delcarde. Fenn isn't religious and is rationale and logical and the two religious characters , while devout catholics, know that things aren't right here and go against their brethren hierarchy in some ways. It adds some depth to their characters.A deaf and mute girl can suddenly hear and speak again. It is thought that a miracle has taken place and the small town soon becomes a place of worship for others hoping for similar cures. But is the force behind this occurrence good or evil?

We are moving here from witchcraft as the magic of supernatural powers to a more "cultist" kind of magic, where powers are, in fact, natural and merely more evolved. It is left open how the Church and we might deal with that in the future. N'Duka, Amanda (12 November 2019). "Jordana Brewster Joins Jeffrey Dean Morgan In 'Shrine' Adaptation From Screen Gems". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved 29 February 2020. Some very cool horrific scenes regarding the car /tanker accident, the church basement and hooded nuns, a weird scene with Alice and a cat, some character deaths including more than 1 type of father and a seemingly rushed ending that involved a psychotic anti religious gunman, lightning, earth shattering quakes and underground zombies lol. On the other hand, there's one point in which this book didn't age well, like the cringeworthy descriptions of some disabled people (e.g. "death and dumb") and the action scenes were a little dragged out.

From the age of 16, Herbert attended Hornsey College of Art, where he spent four years studying graphic design, print and photography. He worked as a paste-up artist and a typographer at one advertising agency, and then became art director and subsequently group head at Charles Barker Advertising. The basic plot of James Herbert's "Shrine" is far from ground-breakingly original. However, that isn’t necessarily a negative aspect. Some of the most spectacular and haunting novels have come from reworking, redesigning and reinventing classic ideas. In this sense, we’re ultimately talking about a plot pretty much involving demonic possession and a mass misguided belief and far little else. However, what Herbert does, is really ramp-up the tension that lurks behind the saintly façade of the protagonist, making the whole crux of the somewhat simplistic tale, far more focused on the escalating tension that will surely be vented in a dramatically explosive revelation. a b Fleming, Mike Jr. (December 3, 2018).
