Hasty for the Dark: Selected Horrors by Adam L.G. Nevill
5.0
Nevill has fast become my go-to when recommending "something scary" to a friend. He writes in an almost extreme hyper-reality whereby very specific things are noticed or described, yet the reader is still uncertain of how they form into the bigger picture. Or the shape of the monster.
In a way, Nevill's stories reminded me of the eerie hyper-realism of Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."
And the thing is, as I kept on reading this collection, my previous favorites kept getting outdone by the next story in line. I loved it. I'd put it amongst Barron's "Imago Sequence" or Jone's "The Ones Who Got Away" as one of my favorite single author collection.
A must read for those wanting to be freaked out.
