Now a major Netflix film. Winner of the August Derleth Award, No One Gets Out Alive is the ultimate haunted house thriller from horror writer Adam Nevill. Darkness lives within . . . Cash-strapped, working for agencies and living in shared accommodation, Stephanie Booth feels she can fall no further. So when she takes a new room at the right price, she believes her luck has finally turned. But 82 Edgware Road is not what it appears to be. It’s not only the eerie atmosphere of the vast, neglected house, or the disturbing attitude of her new landlord, Knacker McGuire, that makes her uneasy – it’s the whispers behind the fireplace, the scratching beneath floors, the footsteps in the dark, and the young women weeping in neighbouring rooms. And when Knacker’s cousin Fergal arrives, the danger goes vertical. But this is merely a beginning, a gateway to horrors beyond Stephanie’s worst nightmares. And in a house where no one listens to the screams, will she ever get out alive?
Michael Koryta, New York Times Bestselling author of The Prophet on The House of Small Shadows
“Adam Nevill is a spine-chiller in the classic tradition, a writer who draws you in from the world of the familiar, eases you into the world of terror, and then locks the door behind you. The House of Small Shadows grows darker and takes on more menacing life with each step forward.”
Scott Smith, NYT bestselling author on The House of Small Shadows
“Chilling...and deeply creepy. It has the feel of a cult classic.”
Jonathan Maberry, NYT bestselling author on The House of Small Shadodws
“A fascinating blend of modern storytelling...and old school terror. Very scary, highly recommended.”
Booklist, Starred Review on The House of Small Shadows
“Shirley Jackson, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and Peter Straub would approve--this sets the bar for the best horror novel of the decade.”
PW Starred Review on The House of Small Shadows
“Eemotionally intense, intellectually challenging...addictively readable.”
Kirkus Reviews on The House of Small Shadows
“Nevill's talent for horror resonates ominously in every scene.”
