Something sinister stalks these streets . . .
A chilling occult thriller from award-winning author Adam Nevill, Banquet for the Damned is both a homage to the great age of British ghost stories and a pacey modern tale of Devil worship and witchcraft. 'An impeccable slice of modern horror' - Maxim Jakubowski In Scotland's oldest university town something evil is plaguing the streets. Students are vanishing and turning up dead - each reported to have been haunted by night terrors. When struggling musicians, Dante and Tom arrive at St. Andrews to meet Professor Coldwell, author of Banquet of the Damned, they discover that the town's bloody history of witchcraft and ritual murder may have begun again. Meanwhile, Hart Miller, a researcher of dream culture, begins investigating the mysterious deaths. Strange shadows have been seen amongst the ruins, body parts are being washed ashore and there are whispers of a vengeful prophecy . . . This is certainly not a place for outsiders, especially at night. So what chance do they have at surviving an ageless supernatural evil and the ruthless cult that worships it? 'A gloriously gruesome fever dream' - SFXAdam L. G. Nevill was born in Birmingham in 1969 and grew up in England and New Zealand.
