Adam Nevill

    19. April 1969

    Adam L.G. Nevill ist ein Meister des Horrors, dessen Werke in die Tiefen der menschlichen Psyche und die dunklen Winkel der Realität eintauchen. Seine Prosa, oft erfüllt von einer eisigen Atmosphäre und beunruhigenden Bildern, erforscht Themen wie Angst, Isolation und Begegnungen mit dem Übernatürlichen. Nevill nutzt meisterhaft psychologische Spannung und erschafft Erzählungen, die den Leser in einen Strudel erschreckender Ereignisse ziehen. Seine Arbeiten bieten einen tiefgründigen Einblick in die dunkleren Aspekte der menschlichen Erfahrung und werden für ihre Originalität und ihre Fähigkeit, echten Schrecken hervorzurufen, geschätzt.

A new job and a few therapists later, things look much brighter. Especially when a challenging new project presents itself -- to catalogue the late M. H. Mason's wildly eccentric cache of antique dolls and puppets. Rarest of all, she'll get to examine his elaborate displays of posed, costumed and preserved animals, depicting bloody scenes from the Great War. Catherine can't believe her luck when Mason's elderly niece invites her to stay at Red House itself, where she maintains the collection until his niece exposes her to the dark message behind her uncle's "Art." Catherine tries to concentrate on the job, but Mason's damaged visions begin to raise dark shadows from her own past. Shadows she'd hoped therapy had finally erased. Soon the barriers between reality, sanity and memory start to merge and some truths seem too terrible to be real... in The House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill.

    • Indie filmmaker Kyle Freeman is a man at the end of his tether. He faces bankruptcy and obscurity, until he lands a commission to make an unusual documentary. The Temple of the Last Days was a notorious cult, which reached its bloody endgame in the Arizona desert in 1975. Ever since, the group's rumoured mystical secrets and paranormal experiences have lain concealed behind a history of murder, sexual deviancy and imprisonment. Kyle and his one-man crew film the cult's original bases in London and France - finally visiting the desert crime scene where the cult self-destructed in a night of ritualistic violence. But when Kyle interviews survivors, uncanny events plague his shoots. Frightening out-of-body experiences and nocturnal visitations follow, along with the discovery of ghastly artefacts. Until Kyle realises, too late, that they've become entangled in the cult's hideous legacy. Praise for Adam Nevill: 'This novel grabs from the very first page ... Superb' Guardian, 'Lean, compelling, dark, at times frightening' The Herald, 'Horrifyingly scary ... Nevill sinuously ramps up the tension' Sunday Times
