Few believed Professor Coldwell could communicate with spirits. But in Scotland's oldest university town something has passed from darkness into light. Now, the young are being haunted by night terrors and those who are visited disappear. This is certainly not a place for outsiders, especially at night. So what chance do a rootless musician and burned-out explorer have of surviving their entanglement with an ageless supernatural evil and the ruthless cult that worships it? 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.

Worthy successor to Stephen King?
A supernatural horror set in the university town of St Andrews. As usual, some occult rituals have woken up something hungry and ancient. Blazing start, tepid middle, speeds up towards the end but ends too abruptly. Good mythology which ties in witches, vampires, werewolves, Amazon tribes and historical events. Really freaky antagonist. A lot of heart stopping encounters. All in all, quite a good horror read for the fans of the genre.
