Wyrd and Other Derelictions by Adam L.G. Nevill
3.0
Derelictions / der-uh-lik-shuhn - The act of abandoning something; The state of being abandoned; Negligence.
Wyrd and Other Derelictions is a collection of seven stories by Adam Nevill. Each story is a discovery or observation of a place that has seen untold horrors. Nevill walks the reader through mysterious scenes where weird and terrifying things have taken place. These stories tell a nightmarish tale of truly unspeakable terror.
Horror writer's everywhere need to read this book. It shows just how important it is to set a scene. Nevill is an incredible author with tremendous talents and this collection of stories shows exactly what kind of range he has within the genre. Each and every story is a carefully crafted horrifying journey into an unknown and disturbing dereliction. As I read this book, all I could think about is how amazing his other books must be. I wish I could say I loved this book but in all honesty, I struggled. This novella is something special, an experiment. The lack of plot and dialogue withdrew my will to keep the pages turning.
Wyrd and Other Derelictions by Adam Nevill is something completely different from anything you have ever read. Oddly enough, this book gives me serious motivation to read Nevill's other work. He is truly amazing at what he does. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me but I'm still glad I read it. I would still recommend this book, I am absolutely amazed at what the author accomplished here.
