Last Days
Last Days | Adam Nevill
Last Days (winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel of the Year) by Adam Nevill is a Blair Witch style novel in which a documentary film-maker undertakes the investigation of a dangerous cultwith creepy consequences When guerrilla documentary maker, Kyle Freeman, is asked to shoot a film on the notorious cult known as the Temple of the Last Days, it appears his prayers have been answered. The cult became a worldwide phenomenon in 1975 when there was a massacre including the death of its infamous leader, Sister Katherine. Kyle's brief is to explore the paranormal myths surrounding an organization that became a testament to paranoia, murderous rage, and occult rituals. The shoot's locations take him to the cult's first temple in London, an abandoned farm in France, and a derelict copper mine in the Arizonan desert where The Temple of the Last Days met its bloody end. But when he interviews those involved in the case, those who haven't broken silence in decades, a series of uncanny events plague the shoots. Troubling out-of-body experiences, nocturnal visitations, the sudden demise of their interviewees and the discovery of ghastly artifacts in their room make Kyle question what exactly it is the cult managed to awaken and what is its interest in him?

He had been committed, absorbed and unthinking. Intentionally, because the story was so good. So good he felt like he‘d been damaged by it, permanently.

As a lover of horror, I‘m a little ashamed to say this my first Adam Neville read. Even though I think this could have been trimmed down slightly (it‘s 530 pgs), I enjoyed this one. Kyle, a struggling film documentarian, thinks his problems may have been solved when he is asked to shoot a documentary about the 1970s notorious cult, Temple of the Last Days. The film schedule is tight and strange things occur as Kyle and his ⬇️

Bookzombie cameraman travel around the world to shoot locations and interviews. Cults are creepy to me even when well lit, so there was a lot of creepiness in this book for me. #Booked2022 #aboutacult #almostachunksterchallenge 2y

I enjoyed this book. A week later and I am still thinking about it. There were some creepy parts and I will never look at stains on the wall in the same way. I love books about cults and this cult is truly terrifying.
The book did feel overlong. The character Max seemed to have long explanations that could have been shorter. The supernatural aspect of this was disturbing. How can you fight an otherworldly demon?

TheLibrarian Stacked! I also enjoy reading books about cults and I love your planter! 2y

This was a slog for me. Unlikeable characters, repetitive writing and a storyline that I just didn‘t find scary. It was also overly long. Just didn‘t work for me, but it may for other horror fans!

IamIamIam Sorry it didn't work out for you!! It's so hard to find really good horror books. 😖 4y
Angitron @IamIamIam I agree 100%, it is SOOOOO difficult!! But I‘ll keep trying! 4y

I definitely enjoyed this way more than The Ritual, but I still feel like it kinda ended in a way that I found flat. I also find the leads in both of his novels pretty awful and I don‘t feel very sympathetic when bad things happen to them? But overall I did enjoy this!

I read The Ritual a few years ago and found Nevill‘s storytelling to be super annoying, but I‘ve seen such good reviews for this one. The prologue is everything I hate about his writing, but now that I‘ve made it past that I‘m really hooked!

I would definitely recommend this book to seasoned paranormal horror readers who enjoy checking the dark corners of their houses twice as they walk past. 😉

jessinikkip Oh gosh, I think based on your review I might have to find myself a copy soon. Sounds pretty good to the huge Stephen King buff in me :) 4y

Put the book down mom and let's go to bed!
I still haven't finished Last Days by Adam Nevil. I've been busy today just being all around mom. I am quite tired but this book has me engrossed and captured, after a hard start. Perhaps just one more chapter...

My purrrrfect reading companion ❤

Reggie Welcome to Litsy!!! Do you like this one? I‘ve read the one by him where the guy is searching for his kidnapped daughter in Great Britain while climate change is happening. It was pretty good. 5y
Alicepondpoe @Reggie I do like it. It has taken me a minute to get into it. It talks a bit about the documentary/filming process as the characters are making a film, and for some they might find the details like lighting and the characters talking about what camera to use as ambient, I felt like they were weighing the story down in some areas. I haven't finished the book yet but it's turned into a slow burner. I can't figure out what's going on! 5y

If ya‘ll like horror, I recommend this. Keeps elements of classical horror but keeps it from being cliched. My only complaint is he describes the setting in too much detail. #horror #creepy #cult

This was a great horror story!! Lots of mystery and the creepiness starts quickly and just keeps escalating. Very nice horrific imagery. Adam Nevill is a must-read for horror fans!

Better than average horror story. I find cults, clowns and dolls creepy, so a story based on any one of them has a bonus fear factor.

Few writers manage to scare me. Nevill manages it, every time. This book is a must-read.

Space_Cat I'm also not easily scared, and this book made me want to sleep with the lights on. 8y
SwayBug Me too!! His books are just deliciously terrifying 8y
