The House of Small Shadows
Creepy, chilling, and intense, this gothic fever dream and hauntedhouse story will keep you awake at night. (LJ 7/14)
PREMIUM
No One Gets Out Alive
The unpleasantness of a young woman forced by poverty to make some bad choices escalates to terror as the nature of her landlord and his scheme for the dwelling come to light. Sensitive readers might find the violence toward women and the damage it wreaks on Stephanie's psyche more horrifying than the supernatural scares. British author Nevill (Last Days; The Ritual) is incredibly skilled at building tension, and his thick-accented Birmingham villains drip menace.

The House of Small Shadows
From its gothic haunted house beginnings, written exceedingly well, the book evokes feelings of tension and dread in readers. But this meticulous scene-setting gets a little muddled as the story spirals to a deeper level of violence and Catherine begins to doubt what she sees around her. Fans of horror writers Ramsey Campbell and Richard Laymon might enjoy this.

This exceptional macabre tale stuns in its ability to inspire abject, primal terror. Readers will lose all hope of undisturbed, peaceful sleep. Highly recommended.

The Ritual
Nevill's prose is sometimes challenging—he repeatedly pummels his readers with lengthy passages of baroque description that slow down the action—but, in the end, he has crafted a harrowing read that will keep readers riveted right through the final page. Highly recommended, especially for fans of gritty, literary horror by authors such as Scott Smith, Clive Barker, and Dan Simmons.
