THE UNCANNY TALES OF ADAM NEVILL AT THE QUIETUS - INTERVIEW & REVIEWS

I have a long and detailed chat here, with Sean Kitching at The Quietus, about the weird and magic, around their joint investigation into 'No One Gets Out Alive' and 'Cunning Folk'."Having exhibited an uncanny prescience with 2015s Lost Girl, in which a global coronavirus pandemic spreads from bat urine in a Chinese wet market, Nevill’s two new projects concern the need for home and for territory"“I think what I am currently striving for, is the sense of something vaster, more cosmic, at the edge of comprehension. Not indifferent to us so much as unaware, that coexists unless roused..."#NoOneGetsOutAliveFilm#NetflixFilm #imaginariumThe Uncanny Tales Of @AdamLGNevill

CUNNING FOLK REVIEWED BY NOTES FROM AN ECLECTIC READER

"In perfect time for the change of the seasons from all things green and alive to brown and dying along with the reduction of daylight hours comes Adam Nevill’s latest novel, CUNNING FOLK. In it Nevill repeats and very possibly surpasses his past successes in folk horror, THE RITUAL (2011) and THE REDDENING (2019), both of which I have reviewed in the past. Moving into their first home in rural South West England, Tom and Fiona with their four-year-old daughter, Gracey, have no idea of the malice and despicable deadliness which awaits them… none of which emanates from the sorely in need of repair house, itself. CUNNING FOLK is a spellbinding, brilliantly conceived, beautifully written work which will take readers’ imaginations to places they likely have never envisioned before. For a complete review of CUNNING FOLK, please see my review page: Notes from an Eclectic Reader." (Facebook)

Ritual Limited rolls east. Joining the Russian edition, The Reddening has been translated into Czech by knihydobrovsky!

CUNNING FOLK - THE AUDIOBOOK

And finally, the audiobook for Cunning Folk has manifested at Amazon & Audible.

For a story about curses and the accursed this edition alone must have triggered some foul sorcery. Two months of recording and rerecording with the company I commissioned to create the book. Totally let down by the distributor, followed by tech' difficulties with levels ... eventually the recordings are sound and I am forced to manually upload the book (missing the entire point of paying someone else to take care of it). Not sure I can face going through that again. But, at last, it's out there & whispering its maleficium ...

MARC FRANCIS REVIEWS CUNNING FOLK

"One scene in particular, and it's immediate aftermath felt like a hammer-blow to the psyche. It's not an unearned shock, or done solely for effect. It's a shock that's been carefully planned and built up to. From that point on it's almost impossible to put the book down." Marc's Books

READ BY DUSK REVIEWS CUNNING FOLK

"The claustrophobic fears, tension and despair of the characters feel real. No one is safe and no one is protected. It’s a study of a man’s descent into madness but also a testament of a father’s love."Read by Dusk.Full review here:

CUNNING FOLK REVIEWED

Saluting all you reviewers for your fabulous Cunning Folk displays and reviews. I massively appreciate them and it's always a thrill to read your thoughts on my new books. As a writer who exists by word-of-mouth amongst readers of horror, I can't put a price on this interest and support.
And from out there on the web, here is a selection of reviews for the new novel that have been very satisfying to read. I do something new with each book so never really know how they're going to be received:

“Cunning Folk” gets under the skin from the first page, the story infused with mordant humour and grotesquely apt images of confinement, frustration and otherworldly power." Toronto Star.

"pure dread and 100% folklore horror that takes the simple act of a family buying a house and quickly flips every bit of happiness and sunshine on its head." Kendall Reviews.

"In all, this is a great fast-paced horror read that is perfect for longtime fans of Adam Nevill but also a great introduction to the type of book he usually writes. This gets a solid five out of five from me." Horror Bound

"this latest entry will have you looking over the garden fence with fresh (and suspicious) eyes just in case your neighbours might be ‘Cunning Folk’." Gingernuts of Horror.

"This is becoming quite the tradition. Hard to believe, I know, but this is the fifth year in a row I’ve reviewed Adam Nevill’s latest at this time of year. What can I say? If he is going to continue to write some of my favourite horror fiction I am going to continue to review it." The Elegant Page.
