@@Michael_Wertenberg you're producing great content from the heart which, incidentally, is also what I learned about Adam Neville. He's a horror fan living his dream :-)
Adam Nevill and Stephanie Ellis are my two favorite folk horror authors. Adam's book, Cunning Folk, was so terrifying! The Vessel creeped me out and lives rent free in my head. Thank you for the interview!
My favourite British horror author. I remember asking him on a thread if he'd ever consider releasing a book with all his short stories as I'd spent a small fortune hunting down magazines & anthology books just to read his short stories. I was so relieved when he then self-published two anthology books in Hasty for the Dark and Some will not Sleep. I've since collected all his Ritual publication hardbacks which are incredible quality with amazing artwork. I recommend his books all the time. The 'next Stephen King' gets bandied about all the time at new horror authors but I'd crown Nevill with the 'new James Herbert' who was the only horror author prior to his death to outsell King in the UK. It's great when I see horror readers discovering his work and long may it continue.
This is awesome! I have loved Adam Neville for years and years but I’ve never seen him interviewed, great video! So interesting to hear why he went to indie publishing, the man stands by his values, such a great guy
Great interview. Adam Nevill: I recently downloaded 2 of his books on my Kindle (Before You Wake/Before you Sleep) so I'll try to get to that soon. I'm currently reading Same Bed Different Dreams by Ed Park (Great so far). The Trials of Empire by Richard Swan instantly bypasses the TBR (Best trilogy ever and I haven't completed it). This channel: always a treat.
Awesome interview, I'm so happy you were able to do this with him. Adam is one of my favorite authors to some of my favorite books. You can really tell how much work he puts into every single word, which are carefully chosen, as if they are a syringe in which to inject you into his stories, characters, and settings. I can't put his novels down, yet I'm afraid to finish them. Michael, your review of The Reddening was what brought me to Adam and have never gone back, so thank you.
Seems like a cool guy. I've read and seen The Ritual and liked the book better esp the black metal part. I got an unread book by him that I need to read soon. Nice interview.
Thanks. I tried to watch the movie but only made it half way. Looked good, but it just made me want to read the book again🙂The black metal part was very cool, indeed!
Yes! Forever Autumn by the Moody Blues is on that LP War of the Worlds. I had that LP. Check out the song on RUclips. Awesome interview. I was scrolling Amazon looking at Mr. Neville's books but when I decide to buy one I will order from his website? I will check that out but first I will watch you video of his works. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to the next segment.
Thank you for the positive vibes! If you order from his website, he does signed copies (and he doesn't have to share a cut with retailers, I imagine. So it's always good to buy direct from the source, if you can.)
I’ve never been a reader but I picked up the ritual at the library and could not put it down. I immediately went on Amazon and bought last days and now read every night
Nice! In my opinion, you still haven't come upon his best one yet; but that's quite subjective. I'm hoping you fall in love with his work and other books and continue to find the reading experience rewarding! Thanks for sharing.
Further in to the red rabbit hole that is Adam Nevill stories.. thank you for this intruiging interview! Fascinating to learn about the world of publishing first hand from a current (favoured) author! 🤟 *blurb was great, thank you for the lack of spoilers 😅*
Love the comment (sorry I missed it when it came out). And thanks for the kind words about the blurb. More intimidating than I expected to give my blurb in front of the author himself :)
Loved the book. Broke my heart so often. And the cover is great. I truly hate what's become of horror covers these days. They don't communicate horror at all.
I'm with you 100%. We are in an age of the sanitization of horror in the big publishing houses. Horror must not be horror; it must not even look like horror; yet we must exploit established horror tropes to appeal to readers of the new not-horror horror.
Does anyone know if Adam plans on continuing with the story of all the fiends of hell? In the future, another point of view at the same time or maybe the people that were in the space stations at that time. I loved this book 😂 I want more
It's true there are a lot of great concepts and characters to explore in this world he has created. I can't speak for Adam, but I did ask him once (I don't remember if it's in this series of conversations or not) if he would ever consider writing a sequel to my favourite book of his, The Reddening, and he told me he isn't too keen on writing sequels, though I also have a vague memory of him also telling me that he's working on a sequel to that book. So, I guess I'm having a hard time distinguishing between actual memories and my imagination or wishful thinking. Not very helpful to your question, I realize. Thus far, he hasn't written a sequel yet. But as long as he keeps writing and keeps putting out great books, I'm perfectly happy with that. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!
@@Michael_Wertenberg What? I'm actually reading The Reddening 😅💪 I like It so far although I just read about 20 pages, I will keep going tonight. About the fiends of hell I think he just created a very good concept of a world. But I can see why he might want to keep It misterious as It is instead of exploring more. He talks about this in his author notes. Already waiting to know what he will bring us next
This wasn't an interview, it was a conversation. Very engaging 🙂
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words😁

I hadn't heard of Stephanie Ellis. Just looked her up. She's on my radar now. Thanks for that.
@@Michael_Wertenberg The Five Turns Of The Wheel is amazing! Folk horror at it's finest.

Fantastic comment, Jason! Thanks for sharing(and watching). I should have part 2 up in the next few days...
@Michael_Wertenberg can't wait Michael. Love your content too & have subscribed
Thanks😁@@jasoncrawford162

What an incredible video Michael! Stunning interview! I now seriously have to read this author. I also need to read War Of The Worlds!
Thanks, Cliff. Yeah, he did a good job selling me on War if the Worlds too
Try Cunning Folk, fantastic book

Hi, Adam! Fascinating interview so far, looking forward to the next part. Great job, Michael! 👍
Thanks, Roo 😁
Fantastic, thanks to both of you.
Loved this. Thank you!
Thanks for the positive energy. Great way for me to start off the day.. (will be podting part 2 shortly)
Great interview! Can't wait to read this
Thanks. Let us know what you think when you do (read the book ,that is; not when you 'think').

Listening to the audio book of "The Reddening" now. But I'm dying to read "The Ritual" after seeing it on Netflix.
I can't recommend it highly enough. If you do end up reading it, let me know what you think. Thanks
Call the book is way way better. I love the movie, but the book was a masterpiece.
