5🌟Bloody fuckin scary.
Being a avid fan of Horror books and supernatural , I really didn't enjoy this book at all. Ive read a couple of Adam Nevill books, so im not a stranger to his works, but I seriously felt bored with this book . After I read his last book " house of small shadows" I was gravely disappointed of how the book flitted from one thing to the other so quickly and did not have any stable foundations or concrete stability , so I said to myself no more, but then I got wind that Adam had published another b...
This was pretty good for me. Might be my favorite so far of Nevill's. Yeah, it could have been trimmed down, but it was still enjoyable. Filled with gross horror, ghosts, and lots of creepiness.
I got more than halfway through and just couldn't bring myself to finish. Clearly I'm just not the right reader for this book, considering most of the reviews I read for this one were positive, but this was SO long and slow. The book is more than 600 pages, and at more than halfway through I kept waiting for it to pickup, and it just wasn't happening. On to the next one.
I liked this book and it did have some creepy moments but it didn't scare me as bad as the previous 2 adam Nevill books I read (the ritual and last days). but I really, really like him! on to the next one!
This is hands down the most insane novel I've ever read. Cannot recommend it enough for Horror fans. Read it, read it, read it! RTC but right now I'm off to read everything Adam Nevill has ever written.
Adam Nevill’s latest fiendish work has reached new heights of terrifying. Famous for his skin-crawl-inducing paranormal horror, which so far has come in various gruesome flavours: Scandinavian pagan folklore, Lovecraftian madness, creepy dolls and Victorian taxidermy, all enough to rob me of any decent sleep, his books always had a classic horror elegance to it - but they are positively cushy compared to the brick-sh**ting real-life horror he’s unleashed on us now. Fret not, the paranormal eleme...
I read this last year and it was a favourite so I thought I would give it another go and I still can't stop thinking of the horrors it threw at me! Freaking fantastic bit of fiction this was. I am still recovering from reading it. This nearly popped my mind right open with parts of it, I felt genuinely scared, creeped out and downright horrified by this book that defies all logic and takes you to places you don't want to visit again.Oh God, I felt I was THERE so many times. I yelled at this book...
DNF at page 398I can’t do it anymore 🤮 this book is making me feel sick but not in a good way. Not my kind of horror, sorry! Reading vlog: https://youtu.be/6NaOItAWp7Q
This was one of those books that--in my opinion--could easily have been shortened by 200-300 pages, and been even BETTER in regards to sustaining the tension throughout the entire novel. A great, supernatural tale that really grabs you....once you get through the beginning.I have to admit that the first 200 pages almost caused me to give up (and there are over 600 pages here). While it started out promising enough, I didn't need over 200 pages of our main character, Stephanie, going on about how...
I love Adam Nevill’s book, The Ritual! I loved the movie. I didn’t love this book as much. It says I read it and loved it in 2018 and I don’t remember that at all!! Must have been a ghost. This book was another Netflix movie I watched. The movie was different but I loved it. I mean the creepiness in the show and the monster! Holy shit snacks!! And I will continue to read his books because I know he’ll have more I love like The Ritual 😉Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾🎃
It's a rare treat reading a book series, isn't it? It's interesting to sit back with the characters and see what's been going on since the last book. Dominic Sheldrake is definitely someone I wanted to check back in on, so here we are! It's been 30 years since Dominic encountered his former school teacher Christian and his daughter Tina. Encountering them and what they had brewing is something Dom was all too happy to forget. He's gotten a job teaching film and he's married with a young boy name...
‘And what will I do if I turn the light on and someone is standing there?’ In No One Gets Out Alive, Adam Nevill explores the plight of a lonely desperate young woman, she takes a room at 82 Edgehill Road in Birmingham because it's cheap as chips at 40 quid a week. She's got a temp job handing out samples at the bullring shopping centre and it’s time for a fresh start. She's got nothing else, there's no one to help her and against her better judgement it's time for the first night in her new
3.5 starsThis is my Book Of the Month- May 2016, with GR group- Literary HorrorThis is an insane ride. My first read by Adam Neville and this won't be the last. This book is about Stephanie who is making end's meet by doing menial jobs, has recently split from her boyfriend and is living on shared accommodation in cheap conditions. She comes across an add of cheap weekly accommodation available and makes the monumental mistake of moving into 82 Edgware Road The main sense I had about 82 Edgware
This was disappointing, for me, compared to Nevill's other works. I would have enjoyed more of the supernatural and less of the (too) realistic horror. Ew.
With some of the most scariest scenes of horror, I can see this novel No One Gets Out Alive by Adam Nevill adapted into a TV film. I'VE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE AGAIN CAN YOU HELP ME?Stephanie Booth takes a new room at vast neglected house at 82 Edgehill Road.The air in her room was so cold she shivered. Then creepy things started to storm around the room. Stephanie could hear sobbing from the fireplace and scratching from beneath her bed. The Mattress dipped as someone sat down. A face was movin...
Wow, Adam Nevill is the only writer ever I have given 5 stars to for every single book of his I have read. This one is no exception. It is a tough read, beginning quite spookily, and then plumbing such depths of depravity that I nearly gave up out of disgust and despair ... Then Nevill takes one of those unique genre-bending twists he is so famous for, and you realise that the ride is only beginning ... One helluva read that will make you leave the lights on for days afterwards, wondering about
I’ll begin with an admission; this is the first book by Adam Nevill that I’ve read. I’ve been aware of his work for a while, but for reasons I don’t think I can really quantify, I’ve never picked up any of his books. When the opportunity came along to review his latest release I knew that now was finally the time for me to remedy this gross oversight.Stephanie Booth has reached as close to rock bottom as you can get. Her career is going nowhere; she can hardly afford to pay her bills and has bee...
I stuck with this book for 200 pages but unfortunately those pages crawled with almost nothing happening. And what little did happen just made the main character grow increasingly unsympathetic because she was so whiny and passive. If you're looking for a book that is all atmosphere and little story, this is for you.
