All the Fiends of Hell

The red night of bells heralds global catastrophe. Annihilation on a biblical scale. Seeing the morning is no blessing. The handful of scattered survivors are confronted by blood-red skies and an infestation of predatory horrors that never originated on earth. An occupying force intent on erasing the remnants of animal life from the planet. Across the deserted landscapes of England, bereft of infrastructure and society, the overlooked can either hide or try to outrun the infernal hunting terrors. Until a rumour emerges claiming that the sea may offer an escape.

Ordinary, unexceptional, directionless Karl, is one of the few who made it through the first night. In the company of two orphans, he flees south. But only into horrifying revelations and greater peril, where a transformed world and expanding race of ravening creatures await. Driven to the end of the country and himself, he must overcome alien and human malevolence and act in ways that were unthinkable mere days before.

All The Fiends of Hell is a novel of alien horror from the four times winner of the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.

Actually unsettling

Adam Nevill wins again. I look forward to a continuation of this story so we can get a real conclusion that isn't a happy ending.

Couldn't stop listening to it!!

I was scared as hell and having nightmares but I still needed to know how this story ended! such a good ride!!

Weak main character

While a strong atmosphere and creature design sets a good stage, this novel is torpedoed by a weak cowardly main character

True Adam Nevill Form

Another superb offering from Nevill. Truly an outstanding story that goes back to the roots of his storytelling style. A+

Excellent supernatural post-apocalypse

This is astonishingly good, probably Nevill’s best yet. It genuinely scared me several times, and as someone who’s nearly 60 and been reading horror since my early teens, I seldom get that real feeling of deep fear these days. It also made me cry several times, as Nevill captures the accumulated weight of regret, exhaustion, self-condemnation, and other bad emotions his protagonist feels. I love it when a story makes me feel like the author is saying, “I’m very sorry to have to deal you this part, but here’s what happened next….”

I can scarcely recommend this too highly to other horror readers.
