Some Will Not Sleep

I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of this. The temptation to read it straight away was huge but I had decided to save it for Halloween weekend. Boy, am I glad I did. This collection of short stories was just perfect for the season that's in it. I love Adam Nevill's full length novels. With this collection he has shown that he can deliver chills and thrills in a short story too. I hope that there will be another collection of short stories in the future.

I liked most of the stories, but none really stood out to me.

DNF: What God Hath Wrought?, Doll Hands, To Forget and Be Forgotten, & Florrie
I just couldn't get into these stories beyond the first few pages. I do suggest those that like “Tender is the Flesh” read the Doll Hands story.

4-5: Pig Thing, The Ancestors, & The Age of Entitlement

The rest of the stories were average content and writing for horror shorts. I would highly suggest The Ancestors story, it completely made the book worth reading.

Have to say I am not a big fan of short story collections. I always find that there are a couple of good stories and the rest seem like fillers. There are NO fillers in this book just 11 wonderfully twisted creepy tales from the mad mind of Mr Nevill. Standout stories for me are Original Occupant, Yellow Teeth, Doll Hands and the stomach churning League of Gentlemenesque Mothers Milk. If you like horror and you haven't read any of Adam Nevill's books you must.
