You can tell this book is from the 70s! Very dated views of anybody who isn't a straight white man, and a general mean-spiritedness throughout that I didn't like. 

I did like some of the individual stories of the fog's effects, but there were a few too many - and Hebert killing off
the entire population of Bournemouth
in the middle made the book feel oddly paced. 

The last third had lots of tense moments, my favourite scene was
the man with his wife's decapitated head. Very cinematic!
