Before ''[[Black Gas]]'', ''[[Crossed]]'', [[Firefly|the Reavers]], and all of the other [[Hate Plague]]s that have been turning up lately, there was '''''The Fog''''', a 1975 horror novel by English horror author James Herbert. It concerns what happens when an earthquake [[Sealed Evil in a Can|cracks open a secret bioweapon buried underground for disposal]], and which causes people and animals who breathe it to go a little [[Ax Crazy]]...and Knife Crazy, and Gun Crazy, and Rape Crazy. The main plot surrounds Jon Holman, an Environmental Officer for the British government, who is present at the fog's dramatic entrance and spends most of the book trying to stop the fog; meanwhile, Herbert occasionally takes us on little side trips to see what horrible things the fog is making happen next.
