Horror novel about rat plague
I have this book that I come back to read every few years but for the life of me can't remember the title of. It could porobably be because most of the times I have read an edition translated to Swedish.
*SPOILER WARNING* It is a horror fiction about London being swamped by a plague of rats spreading a invariably fatal disease with their bites. To make matters worse they are also driven into some kind of feeding frenzy, attacking anything in their path and stripping all the flesh off their victims. A school teacher ends up as the protagonist and after running/fighting his way through a city overrun by rodents, he eventually finds and kills a version of the fabled rat king which was controlling the horde. Does this ring a bell? Does anyone know the title or author?
