The Reddening

I liked the concept of prehistoric horror and the setting of tiny rural English village, but there were times I struggled to believe the characters. Sometimes it seemed like their backstory was extra dramatic without actual events in their past to back it up. Sometimes their actions didn't seem to mesh with the story that we were told about them, especially with the ‘bad guys.' In the end, I wanted a little more detail about everything, especially in how the ‘bad guys', the money, and the history were all tied up together.

I enjoyed some of the actual horror elements. But most of the book was boring. And it was too long. And the ending was predictable.

Can we just agree that audiobooks set on the west coast of England should be narrated by someone with a British accent?

The horror is relentless. It's cannibals, It's bits of wicker man and the ending is Ira Levinesque perfection.

A brilliantly scary book from the dark mind of Adam Nevill.
