motherhorror 's review for:
Last Days
by Adam L.G. Nevill
In my opinion, Nevill writes the scariest horror on the market today. If people are looking for an author that drives home the most fear-based horror book for book, Nevill is your guy.
..
LAST DAYS terrified me. It's the story of an indie filmmaker making a documentary on The Temple of the Last Days, a cult responsible for the ritualistic massacre of its members back in the 70s.
..
Of course, Kyle Freeman and his production team realize (too late) that the mystical, fucked up secrets the cult was willing to defend at all costs, are not exactly done fighting. The filmmakers get in way over their heads.
There were times, reading about 'The Old Friends' where I was like, I gotta stop reading this at night.
Despite the book's size (it's a chunky one), the chapters do go by quickly with very few lulls (although there are some and a few chapters are pretty lengthy).
The characters are very life-like and it's easy to invest in their plight to finish the doc in order to FINALLY make some money doing something that takes up so much of their time for very little reward. The stakes are high enough for them that it's not unrealistic they would endure all this fucked-up stuff in order to just finish. This is quintessential cult horror at its best. A must-read for horror fans looking for genuine scares in this sub-genre. Nobody does it like Nevill.
