Brainy and well-written stories about horrible, hideous things. I frequently see Nevill described as "Britain's answer to Stephen King" and nothing could be further from the truth! Where King's prose is rather workman-like and sturdy, Nevill's is polished and finely wrought, almost like he is writing genre literary fiction. While much of King's power comes from setting up a horror and then letting the reader use his or her imagination, Nevill brings those horrors out into the light, turning them into almost 3-dimensional life.

The sainted undead follow their prophet to the Great Dead Sea. In the big white house on the hill angels are said to appear. A strange goddess is worshipped by a home-invading disciple. The least remembered gods still haunt the oldest forests. A confused and vengeful presence occupies the home of a first-time buyer
