“With his upcoming novel, Nevill presents an evil not of this world as a horrifying alien race arrives to end all life on earth.”
Seeing the morning is no blessing. Confronting blood-red skies and hordes of predatory horrors, the scattered survivors do what they can. An occupying force—one that never came from the earth—is hellbent on erasing all life on the planet.
Now England has no infrastructure, no real society. It is a deserted landscape, and the survivors can hide or run. A rumour arises: the sea could offer a means of escape.
Karl, unexceptional and directionless, is one of the few who have made it thus far. With two orphans, he flees south, finding more terrifying revelations and greater peril. He makes it to the end of the country, lost and losing his mind, to overcome alien and human evils in unthinkable ways.
Why we’re excited about this book:
Horror readers should be quite familiar with the name Adam Nevill. The author of The Ritual, No One Gets Out Alive, Banquet for the Damned, House of Small Shadows, The Vessel, and Cunning Folk, among others, Nevill’s short fiction is collected in Before You Sleep, Before You Wake, Some Will Not Sleep, Wyrd, Hasty for the Dark, and An Accumulation of Dread. The Ritual and No One Gets Out Alive have both been spectacularly adapted for the screen by Netflix. With his upcoming novel, Nevill presents an evil not of this world as a horrifying alien race arrives to end all life on earth. The Guardian says: “You don’t read an Adam Nevill horror novel: you live it.”
Descending from the skies via Ritual Limited 2 April 2024, All the Fiends of Hell by Adam Nevill is available for pre-order now.
