Description

A compelling folk-horror story of deadly rivalry and the oldest magic from the author of The Ritual, The Reddening, No One Gets Out Alive and the four times winner of The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.

No home is heaven with hell next door.

Money's tight and their new home is a fixer-upper. Deep in rural South West England, with an ancient wood at the foot of the garden, Tom and his family are miles from anywhere and anyone familiar. His wife, Fiona, was never convinced that buying the money-pit at auction was a good idea. Not least because the previous owner committed suicide. Though no one can explain why.

Within days of crossing the threshold, when hostilities break out with the elderly couple next door, Tom's dreams of future contentment are threatened by an escalating tit-for-tat campaign of petty damage and disruption.

Increasingly isolated and tormented, Tom risks losing his home, everyone dear to him, and his mind. Because, surely, only the mad would suspect that the oddballs across the hedgerow command unearthly powers. A malicious magic even older than the eerie wood and the strange barrow therein. A hallowed realm from where, he suspects, his neighbours draw a hideous power.

“Adam Nevill excels at making nightmares real.” (Guardian)

“Nevill has crafted some of the tensest scariest horror this reviewer has read in years.” (SFX)

Some damn good folk horror

I’ve been thirsting for good folk horror lately and this book definitely satiated my thirst.

Does a really good job of check marking a lot of what you’d expect from folk horror. All that is built within this book pays off wonderfully in the end. I had a lot of fun listening to the story and I think it did a great job of retaining my interest the whole way through. This was my first Adam Nevill listen and you can be damn sure it won’t be my last.

writing Too heavy

The writing is to heavy, and also the reader, it distracted me from the plot. A little sad..

Enjoying the story, narration is rough

Most of the narration is just fine but his female voice is very grating. When it's an angry female voice it hits a Monty Python-esqe comical level that really takes you out of the story. Also, there's a water trickling sound through a lot of the book. I don't know if the narrator just has a really wet mouth or if he had a small desktop fountain near his microphone. I'm still going to finish because the story hooked me but I'll definitely remember to avoid this narrator in the future.

I can’t even continue

I’m really bummed that I can’t finish this book. The narrator is so boring and difficult to listen to. There’s no way I can listen to 10 more hours of this. I wish I had listened to the previous reviews about the narrator or at least googled him to see if id be able to pay attention to him drawling on. Now I’m out a credit and without a book to listen to.

Wonderful performance!

I really enjoyed the narration which perfectly captured the essence of the book. The story is reminiscent of some of my favorites yet manages to stay original and interesting.

terrible narration

had to bail. I've read other Adam Nevill books, the ritual is great and I liked the reddening, but the narration on this is awful. he reads modern horror like he's reading Dickens. takes you right out of the story.

loved it.

Nevill has a fantastic talent for taking the ancient world, the things that we have forgotten about, and bringing them backup to the surface. He has an excellent talent for having his characters come unraveled at things that would pull a person's threads apart.

Great book.

Story was gripping, narration was grating

The narrator on this is pretty painful. All the voices he does are weird and creaky, but his female voices are just awful - like scratchy, squeaky cartoons. And he kept mispronouncing ordinary words like “abyss” and “decade”. Given that the prose is already pretty overblown, it added a level of awkwardness and distraction that robbed the story of a lot of its impact.

far too long and predictable

the only good thing is the prose is rather good but my god, so spoilers

the moment the dog showed up, I knew it was gonna die. the moment his wife was with him, I knew she would leave him, as soon as the neighbors showed up I knew they would be cultists. as soon as they entered the woods I knew their would be dead things hung up like piñatas. it's not a fun horror story when you've seen it a thousand times

Dropped a lot of pallets to this book working RSR.

I enjoyed it, have a young daughter myself, it was stressful. Certainly worth a listen.

Poor audio quality

Half way through the book I noticed a distinct drop in audio quality. It became tinny and there were distracting pops. I was already turned off by the narrator's approach to women's voices, and this made it hard to enjoy with headphones. The story was OK. Plenty scary, but the writing style is repetitive and too florid.

Fine but not great

I had heard that this book was terrifying and was quite looking forward to listening to it. It was an almost unbearably slow beginning and only really took off 30+ chapters in. I came dangerously close to giving up on it. When the action finally took off it was rather predictable and wrapped up much faster than I would have liked. I didn't spend 10 hours slogging along with an unlikable MC who is unable to communicate like a normal person to have all the interesting bits glossed over in the last 2 hours!
The narrator was fine but could not do a woman's voice to save his life.
Overall, it's fine, but not one to lose sleep over if you skip it.
