Lost Girl is a searing novel by Adam Nevill about the all-too-close-to-reality possibilities that await us as the world becomes more crowded, more affected by climate change and less hospitable to humanity. However, it's not just a commentary on our present and fast accelerating condition. Inste...

In some ways this book has proved a little bit of a disappointment. The first two-thirds is a highly impressive dark tale of a haunted house with a bloody history. Arriving at this seemingly innocuous, red bricked, low rental, house address 82 Edgehill Road Birmingham is Stephanie Booth. She recentl...

This work of fiction is probably best described as “dystopian” as it refers to the world or sees the creation in the world of a degraded society that is generally headed to an irreversible oblivion. Indeed the writing is at times so stark and raw that the descriptive prose takes on an almost apocaly...

Beware. Semi-spoilery comments below. You have been warned.Hmmm. A tale of two parts. The first part was written well (a wee wordy, maybe) but pretty darn good. A tense and suspenseful journey in the forest with 4 old chums on holiday who are being stalked by an unknown entity and getting picked off...

Extreme guerrilla film-making. Six locations, three countries in eleven days. Easy peasy. Except when the Old Friends come to crash the party. Blood Friends. The bodies are starting to pile up and soon it will be raining black bones. If you think that’s bad, just wait ‘till you hear about Sister-fat...

✪ 1 Star Rating ✪I absolutely hate not finishing books, I really do, so I persevered with this one right to the end (mostly with the hope that it'll get better) but unfortunately I really didn't enjoy this. Instead of this one, I recommend reading The Ritual as I thought that one was a lot better.My...

I did enjoy this ghost story/thriller but found it rather long. The opening chapter was very unsettling and I liked the parts of the novel when the lead character was being haunted by the various spirits. But parts of the novel was quite slow to read, especially in the second part. I will try anothe...
