Some of these stories were the craziest things I've read in a long time but none were bad.

I finally got around to reading Adam Nevill and only wish that I had done so sooner, this man is amazing. I had originally bought a limited copy of Some Will Not Sleep as a bundle with a T-shirt and bookmark from Adam's online store, Ritual Limited, but also ended up buying the e-book so that I didn't have to smudge my gorgeous copy. That book cover was all the convincing I needed to know that I needed it in my collection.I have a love/hate relationship with most short story collections, as it s...

"Where Angels Come In" was so deliciously creepy. It has been a long time since I have had a really good creep-out from any story, but this one did it. The collection would be worth at least four stars just for that tale, but the rest were good reads also. Especially "Pig Thing".

Lord have mercy! I love me some scary books. This one is full of short stories but they are crazy train creepy. I mean I like some of them more than others, but they are crazy train peeps. This book is also on Kindle Unlimited for those that have it. I can't even wrap my head around some of those creepy stories. Lol

This Collection Will Not SleepThis book marks one of the best horror story collections I’ve read to date—if not the best overall. Few authors can rival Nevill’s liquid prose, disturbing characters, bizarre settings, and above all, his quiet unraveling of mind-blasting horror. Not since reading H.P. Lovecraft’s works as a teen have I been so inspired yet so distressed with conflicting emotions of wonder and terror, fascination and awe. While I’ve always considered Nevill a competent novelist, his...

4 Stars Some Will Not Sleep: Selected Horrors by Adam Nevill is a well put together book of short stories by one of the industries greatest writers today. Adam Nevill has become my favorite horror author over the last several years. He was always second to the wonderful Catherine Kiernan who just does not write enough these days. (She was my former favorite and still would be if she put out new material.) Those of you not familiar with Nevill, he is a talent not to be missed. Like most of the Br...

These were the first short stories I have read from this author, and I was not entirely sure what to expect. He had built up a good respectable reputation here in the UK over the last decade or more with his novels. These tales though were all very varied and different.Yes, there is the influence of authors such as Clive Barker, M.R. James, Ramsey Campbell through some of the stories. Some of them seem mundane or ordinary to start with before revealing some chilling truth or terror. There were t...

Good stuff. One story was very similar to The Ritual but that's okay because that book was awesome. Another story was like a discarded rough draft of Under a Watchful Eye which was a little weird that he just threw that in there but still a solid four star collection.

This is the first time I have read this author and I am glad I did. Different stories to creep you out to the point you might think your in the twilight zone. Loved the different stories and the way the author grabs you and doesn't let you go. Four stars for this one.

Seems entirely apt, what with Halloween being just around the corner, that this week’s review falls squarely into the horror genre. Some Will Not Sleep is collection of Adam Nevill’s short fiction that were original published in the period between 1995 to 2011. Eleven wonderfully macabre tales that cover the whole gamut of the horrific. The supernatural rubs shoulders with the bizarre, body horror and psychological trauma walk hand in hand. What can else can I say, there is something here for ev...

4.5 stars. SOME WILL NOT SLEEP: Selected Horrors is a collection featuring eleven of Adam L.G. Nevill’s early horror stories, as well as story notes that give us some insight into each tale’s origin. In any collection, I expect a mix when it comes to the contents, themselves. Some will—hopefully—impact me powerfully and prove memorable, whereas others simply won’t capture my attention as strongly, if at all. In Adam Nevill’s book, I was astonished to find seven stories that I, personally, felt w...

This book was great! It wasn't over-long, the stories were creepy but intelligently told and most of them evoked a sense of horror inside me in small and some not-so-small measures. Where Angels Come In: My first thought, when I finished this, was that it was kiddie version of IT. A KIDDIE version of IT. This is ironic on so many levels but anyway. What I look for the most while reading short stories is the sense of completeness. No matter how short it is I should be able to feel that it had a...

3.5 STARS!!Some of the short stories were excellent and others lost focus and had confusing endings. So I will rate each story seperately to help out on whether you want to take on Some Will Not Sleep. I do love Adam Nevill's writing. He's so creative and descriptive on the creepy shit!Where Angels Come In4 STARS! I loved this one and it was one of the more creepier and scarier short stories in the book.The Original Occupant3 stars - It had the feel of The Ritual about it and I came to find out

This was my first book by Adam Nevill and the amount of depth he brings into some of the stories in this collection was pretty much mind-blowing. What really stood out was his ability to take things we use in daily life like milk, toys, utensils and infuse into them a feeling of unfamiliarity that evokes dread and an indescribable creeping terror that slowly builds up. Here are the stories and what they made me feel : Where Angels come in : Apart from the glorification in religious literature a...

My TOP BOOK of 2016!This astonishing collection has bypassed my long-list and short-list of Top Ten Reads of 2016 and gone straight into the Top Ten (to be ranked at end of the year). It's no big secret that Adam Nevill is my favourite horror author of all time. When I was invited to read this selection of some of his best short stories ever written it was like winning the lottery but without the money. I knew I was going on an adventure buy by golly I did not expect these tales to take me where...

I had read the taster selection for this book last year (Before you sleep) and funnily, it contained my favourite stories from this expanded collection.The majority of these tales are fantastically creepy, are great quality and have an unsettling undercurrent that Adam Neville excels at. He writes childrens' thoughts and speech patterns particularly well.A few of the stories are less horror and lean more towards science fiction or just the epically strange.My personal favourite story is 'Florrie...

A very solid collection of shorts from Adam Nevill. I enjoyed every one of these twisted tales. Some were darker than others, but they were all very well written and enjoyable. Nicely done.

A superlative collectionThis book contains 11 short stories of horror fiction -- and every one of them is gold. This is very difficult to pull off even if you are building a collection of various authors with their best work. I am amazed at the high level of accomplishment in the telling of each tale. I've read only two of Adam Nevill's seven novels, but now I am moving some of his others to the top of my pile. The two I'd read were very good, but these short stories really knocked me out. A+ wo...

I've been reading a lot of horror collections and anthologies recently, and this is the finest I've come across. Dark, speculative fiction at its best.

This was a neat collection of surreal horror with themes that resonate with me, like isolation and despair, as well as resentment curdling into insanity. Many of the stories are told in a child-like tone, which gives the monsters here an impressive menace, aided by their very incomprehensibility to the narrators. The prose is quite good as well, but some of the stories blend together and some are a bit generic. One of the best stories is a Western-style zombie/vampire tale, but even it echoes Ba...
