Review Quotes:
"The unspeakably loathsome central thing in MONUMENTAL (which I REALLY want to describe to you but I am using all of my willpower to restrain myself from doing so!) is a repulsively outstanding horror that H.P. Lovecraft would've been proud of!" Ken Miller, Monsterzone
"I flew through Monumental by Adam Nevill (pun intended)! Isolated setting, folk horror, creature feature - this had all of my favorite things." Thrilled to Read
'Monumental is atmospheric, bone chilling and absolutely terrifying in the best way possible ... No one does folk horror quite like Nevill.' Spooky Bookworm
"This is my 9th visit to the Nevill-verse and as much as I enjoy it, I am always thankful I do not live in it. Old gods and bloody traditions exist just underneath the surface of the bustling world or inhabit the abandoned spaces the modern world has forgotten. Monumental, like several of Nevill's other books, is a window into an instance when unfortunate souls stumble upon these remaining entryways or unwittingly stir the attention of the ancient." The Evil Read
"I absolutely recommend it to horror fans, particularly if you enjoy folk horror, complicated group dynamics, and/or ancient evil." Happy Goat Horror
"If you love, like me, pagan mythology, Lovecraftian tales and ancient gods then this claustrophobic tale will satisfy all your desires!" Lady Vampnoor
"Another outstanding piece of horror fiction, packed full of imagery that lingers long after the reading is complete." Anthony Watson, Dark Musings
'From the moment the scream rings out across the valley in the first chapter, the horrors barely let up ... a densely atmospheric slice of pure horror.' marcsbooks.blogspot
"And we're back nestled into the creature feature, folklore madness that we know and love Nevill for ... The thing I do adore most about Adams books are not only his imagination for creating such fantastic monsters but for his ability to add monstrosity to the humans he writes about." Book Guy Si
"Adam Nevill's latest blood offering is a book of pure pagan terror, at times so anxiety-inducing that I found myself unable to peel my eyes away." One Constant Reader
"There are horrors, old, unthinkable horrors ... There were parts of this book that had me frantically pacing back and forth, unable to make my eyes work quickly enough getting the words to my brain." Lumine Books
