Herbert's story entertains a majority of regulators (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thermostats

'regulators' is the definition.
(thermostat is a kind of regulator)

'herbert's story entertains a majority' is the wordplay.
'herbert's story' becomes 'therats' (novel by James Herbert).
'entertains' is an insertion indicator.
'a majority' becomes 'most' (I've seen this before).
'therats' placed around 'most' is 'THERMOSTATS'.

'of' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
