A compelling folk horror story of deadly rivalry and the oldest magic from the four times winner of The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.No home is heaven with hell next door.Money's tight and their new home is a fixer-upper. Deep in rural South West England, with an ancient wood at the foot of the garden, Tom and his family are miles from anywhere and anyone familiar. His wife, Fiona, was never convinced that buying the money-pit at auction was a good idea. Not least because the previous owner committed suicide. Though no one can explain why.Within days of crossing the threshold, when hostilities break out with the elderly couple next door, Tom's dreams of future contentment are threatened by an escalating tit-for-tat campaign of petty damage and disruption.Increasingly isolated and tormented, Tom risks losing his home, everyone dear to him and his mind. Because, surely, only the mad would suspect that the oddballs across the hedgerow command unearthly powers. A malicious magic even older than the eerie wood and the strange barrow therein. A hallowed realm from where, he suspects, his neighbours draw a hideous power."Nevill has crafted some of the tensest scariest horror this reviewer has read in years" SFX"Adam Nevill excels at making nightmares real" Guardian

Book 93🎧 2.8⭐️

I had higher hopes for this one but I felt this dragged on a little too long and had unnecessary fluff/drawn out detail; Which is how I typically feel once I get into a Nevill book.

Also, as much as the narrator did a great job, I do think the audio version could have done with a different voice - it was easy to get lost in what was going on and it didnt quite fit the vibe of the book.

This was *astoundingly* creepy. A very original English folk horror with an epilogue that I think I‘ll be turning over and over in my mind for years. Imagine if Midsommar was set somewhere around Dorset and it was weird elderly neighbours not hot Scandinavians….?

This one was full of super creepy and twisted turns. Kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing right up to the very end. 😱🐗🐰

Started this little nightmare.
Book #3 for #trappedonanisland
At 32% and I love and hate it so far. The writing is so good, it's got me feeling all sorts of angsty and I can alllllmost actyally smell the decrepitness of this house. 🏚👹😱

AmandaBlaze The book I just finished, The Disinvited Guest by Carol Goodman, would fit this theme, too. 2y
Lizpixie #stacked! Give me more creepiness! 2y
aperfectmjk Oooh... I'm intrigued 2y

Well my first Adam Nevill book went down an absolute treat.

Cunning Folk was very well written, very creepy and fast paced to the point where I just couldn't put it down.

There was a few things that happen in this one that I found unsettling, I get that way when certain things happen to characters I like.

I highly recommend this book to fellow horror fans.

bookishbitch Great cover. 3y
