About this listen
A gripping folk-horror thriller from the author of The Ritual
One million years of evolution didn't change our nature. Nor did it bury the horrors predating civilization. Ancient rites, old deities, and savage ways can reappear in the places you least expect.
Lifestyle journalist Katrine escaped past traumas by moving to a coast renowned for seaside holidays and natural beauty. But when a vast hoard of human remains and prehistoric artifacts is discovered in nearby Brickburgh, a hideous shadow engulfs her life.
Helene, a disillusioned lone parent, lost her brother, Lincoln, six years ago. Disturbing subterranean noises he recorded prior to vanishing, draw her to Brickburgh's caves. A site where early humans butchered each other across 60,000 years. Upon the walls, images of their nameless gods remain.
Amidst rumors of drug plantations and new sightings of the mythical red folk, it also appears that the inquisitive have been disappearing from this remote part of the world for years. A rural idyll where outsiders are unwelcome and where an infernal power is believed to linger beneath the earth. A timeless super-normal influence that only the desperate would dream of confronting. But to save themselves and those they love, and to thwart a crimson tide of pitiless barbarity, Kat and Helene are given no choice. They were involved and condemned before they knew it.
The Reddening is an epic story of folk and prehistoric horrors written by Adam Nevill, the author of The Ritual, Last Days, No One Gets Out Alive, and the three times winner of the August Derleth Award for best horror novel.

Great story, distracting narration
I actually really loved this story, Adam Neville creates an incredibly spooky atmosphere and he knows how to create mounting dread that never lets up. Unfortunately I absolutely could not stand the narration. For starters, it was just badly done, with frequent mispronunciations of common words. Including "nuclear," "tepid," "wafted," "crescendo" and my personal favorite "braziers". Most egregious is the fact that this is an English story, by an English author, about English people, that takes place in England. What smooth-brain decided it would be a good idea to have a narrator with an AMERICAN accent stumble through British place names and slang is beyond me. It was even worse when he would turn on a fake British accent for certain characters, then lose it completely. It totally took me out of the experience, and I would absolutely recommend you read a paper copy of this book instead.

meh
great concept, I love all things supernatural, and the prehistoric creepy beasts are right up my alley. I feel like this would be a great horror film if done correctly. I wish there had been more of the creatures involved, and more about them specifically. I was less entranced by the typical cult behaviour of the humans, and I saw the ending with Kat coming from a mile away. very few twists and turns, nothing shocking. narration was good. I think it has the potential to be fascinating, but it just wasn't. at least not for me.

Terrifyingly awesome
This book scared the crap out of me, to the point where I actually couldn't finish it. Neville doesn't rely solely on gore and shock, he puts the characters into extremely intense and uncomfortable situations. For instance, in one scene they can't run or make a sound, and have no choice but to silently watch horrific events unfold before them. An investigation of a creepy cult turns into a super natural nightmare world

There needs to be more voice actors
There are too many characters for the voice not to vary. They all sound the exact same.
There are like 4 time jumps, which kind of dispell the tension that was created. Im an avid thriller reader and i dabble in horror. Bur this was neither. Should have stuck to one or two perspectives maybe. You know the book isnt great, when your in the “villains” head and it isnt creepy or scary or thrilling. Just bleh. Waste of a credit.
Ending falls flat and is hella predictable.

A English story, set in England, with English characters, narrated by someone with a North American accent. Very distracting.
Beautiful writing, but not enough tension and forward movement of the plot. When the plot helfs itself forward, there very little payoff.
