A quartet of acclaimed novels of folk and pagan terrors from the author of The Ritual, No One Gets Out Alive and the four times winner of The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.
The Reddening: One million years of evolution didn't change our nature. Nor did it bury the horrors predating civilisation. Ancient rites, old deities and savage ways can reappear in the places you least expect. An epic story of folk and prehistoric horrors.
Cunning Folk: No home is heaven with hell next door. A compelling folk horror story of deadly rivalry between neighbours and the use of the oldest magic.
The Vessel: An eerie tale of ancient rites and malevolent secrets. A young mother triggers a ritual when employed as a carer for an elderly lady.
Monumental: A story of life and death in the wilderness, and a horrifying tale of extreme survival against human evil and supernatural powers.
Praise for Adam Nevill's Folk Horror Novels:
"When you are in the mood for ritualistic cult horror, this is where you come . . . He zooms into the real horror as it's happening and the reader feels like they are right there--experiencing the whole scope of terror as an assault to all your senses. It's terrifying!" Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann
"No one does folk horror quite like Nevill" Spooky Bookworm
"I absolutely recommend it to horror fans, particularly if you enjoy folk horror, complicated group dynamics, and/or ancient evil." Happy Goat Horror
"And we’re back nestled into the creature feature, folklore madness that we know and love Nevill for ... The thing I do adore most about Adams books are not only his imagination for creating such fantastic monsters but for his ability to add monstrosity to the humans he writes about" Book Guy Si
"The Reddening is an intense, chokehold of a novel. It grips from the start and holds you down as it makes you consume the horrors within" This is Horror
"Chills which deal with the supernatural in both every day and altogether freakier situations" Gingernuts of Horror
