Awesome!

This was first book by Adam Nevill, I’d seen The Ritual on Netflix which I quite enjoyed and after reading this, I think I’ll go back and check out the book of that as well
Last Days was such an amazing story, it gets its claws in right from the start and each chapter just gets more and more creepy. Nevill unravels the tale so well, with a back story that is every bit as punchy as what’s happening in the current time. If you are a fan of dark, demonic forces told in a creepy, atmosphere of brooding horror… look no further. BTW, Chris Devon’s narration is brilliant!

Chilling,simply a must for Creature Horror lovers.

This is my second Nevill novel after the Ritual and was wondering if the terror I felt for the characters and love for his style of horror in that one a fluke or a one off, boy was I wrong. I'm an avid reader of horror fiction and not much really gets to me or is genuinely different when you read/ listen to a lot. However in "Last Days" Nevill has a genuine talent for not just presenting a well constructed and skillfully written narrative but for the believable lore and chilling characteristics of the mysterious horrors he portrays including completely original details and ideas you discover along with the characters as they make the documentary that genuinely made my eyes open wide. Nevill has a gift for letting you see, feel, smell the atmosphere of tension which is often gritty and claustrophobic in some cases, or detailed and information filled in others, Nevill puts you in this story, (Perfectly narrated by Chris Dickens) I couldn't help but think I was part of making this documentary after many hours in, the 3rd Crew member. I empathized every moment with what they were going through. It kept my headphones glued to my ears and my heart racing throughout.

My only fault would be I'd say it could have been slightly shorter, but aside from that this was a truely gripping, terrifying and in parts disturbing read into firstly a Disturbing Cult, its sociopathic leader and her and the followers grizzly end and it's documentary investigation which leads to much more under its necrotic and rotting surface ....
Well recommended for lovers of Creature Horror, Occult Horror and Investigative Thriller/ Murder Mystery genre fans . Not for those seeking lighter reading/ ie no violence

A roiling horror eager to clamber inside you

Great imagery and an interesting take on the 'cult horror' genre. Some loose threads here and there and some exposition heavy sections, but overall it is a solid horror novel.

Brilliant creeping horror

Loved the narration and was so refreshing to read a horror book set in the UK. Really enjoyed it- for fans of King, Lovecraft, Laird Barron, Nick Cutter.

Interesting

This was an interesting read and had a very gripping first act, however I started to really get frustrated with the main character and the choices he was making.
The decisions did not seem realistic considering what he had witnessed in the first act, and his continued actions and opinions got more and more ridiculous as the story came to it's conclusion.

Overall I enjoyed it, but man, Kyle. 🙃

Horror at its best.

A titillating horror. Lovely descriptions of terrifying things lurking in the dark. I’d love someone to turn this into a movie.

genuinely good book

I listened to "the ritual" first after watching the movie and really loved it so thought I would give this one a go, was definitely not disappointed! good pace and scary from start to finish. Adam Nevill is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Even better than The Ritual

A great read for any fan of supernatural horror. The drip feed of exposition about the cult kept me entertained and there were plenty of tense, chilling moments.

Chilling from start to finish!

Last Days was a great book to listen to on my evening bush walks. The narrator did a fantastic job of creating, mood, atmosphere and dread from start to finish. I now want to listen to more books by Adam Neville, hopefully with the same narrator.
