HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

While I was working last week, the girls were building an effigy of a pagan god in the living room. And didn't they do well!

It's since occupied a chair and refuses to budge. I kneel before it nightly.

Soon it will be take its place in the porch and I anticipate fewer trick or treaters this year as a result of its presence (& doubt I'll need to break into the bags of carrots, sprouts or radishes). But those who are brave enough to come forward and request a bounty will all lower their eyes. None will dare to speak its name ...

[You'll never see the instructions for this design on "what do to with kids at half-term" websites, but the installation was constructed from the printer's carboard boxes that held the Cunning Folk hardbacks and palm fronds from our garden. Then finished with those sticky craft bandages and the left over wood-stain for the deck and shed. And, of course, it was made with devotion].

“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." James Grainger.

CUNNING FOLK PUBLICATION DAY.

The sun has risen upon the escape of Cunning Folk into the world. My tenth horror novel. October 25th, for Halloween.Work on the story extended past two years, publishing four formats added the best part of a third year. So, today, I lean upon my scythe and sigh, weary but satisfied that this curious crop has reached maturity ... I wait and hope for the horror folk to harvest it.The eBook is up and dancing a jig on Amazon worldwide and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.The paperback should now be available on wicker shelves, widely online and elsewhere.The audio book is finished but I'm waiting on its verification at around 40 sites. So a few weeks wait on the oral retelling of an infernal tale of the accursed.Almost all of the limited edition grimoires (hardbacks) have flown - we have fewer than 10 copies remaining on publication day.A massive thanks to Anne for packing and shipping them and circumnavigating the horrors that Brexit threw before us. Impossible as it may seem, at one point this summer, we didn't believe we'd be able to send books to Europe. Europe! But she found a way.Early notices for the 'Folk have been positive:"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"The final chapters still had my eyes nailed to the page for the knockout ending which I loved right to the final paragraph" Tony Jones, Gingernuts of Horror.And on Instagram, the bookstagrammers have lit pyres to welcome its birth, as opposed to furnaces to incinerate it alive.Over to you and my thanks to each and every soul that embraces Cunning Folk.#folkhorror #adamnevill #horrorbooks #cunningfolk
