He is a master of creating oppressive, creepy atmospheres and of taking your imagination to places you would rather he didn't.

Adam Nevill is a spine-chiller in the classic tradition, a writer who draws you in from the world of the familiar, eases you into the world of terror, and then locks the door behind you - Michael Koryta, NYT Bestselling author Nevill is fast becoming Britain's answer to Stephen King - Guardian The sense of dread is immediate, with the reader's sense of foreboding increasing with every new page - Irish Examiner Readers will lose all hope of peaceful, undisturbed sleep. Highly recommended - Library Journal (Starred Review) Nevill's talent for horror resonates ominously in every scene, almost as if the theme from Jaws echoes when a page is turned - Kirkus He has the rare ability to craft a nebulous atmosphere of terror, as well as to capture cinematic slasherpunk in the written word. Both are incredibly rare talents - Pornokitsch Chilling, disorienting, and deeply creepy - Scott Smith, author of The Ruins, on House of Small Shadows This sets the bar for the best horror novel of the decade - Booklist on House of Small Shadows This author makes you turn on your lights and keep reading . if there were six stars to be given instead of five, this one deserves them - Suspense Magazine on No One Gets Out Alive Nevill ornaments his tale of brutality and bloodshed with florid Gothic prose, like flock wallpaper gracing a torture dungeon - Financial Times on Lost Girl Not suitable for: anyone who doesn't want nightmares - Fantasy Book Review Gets under your skin and stays there - Geek Syndicate.…
