From Britain's 'master of horror', Adam Nevill, comes The Ritual, winner of the August Derleth Award and perfect for fans of Stephen King.

Now a major film with Rafe Spall.

Four old university friends reunite for a hiking trip in the Scandinavian wilderness of the Arctic Circle. No longer young men, they have little left in common and tensions rise as they struggle to connect. Frustrated and tired they take a shortcut that turns their hike into a nightmare that could cost them their lives.

Lost, hungry and surrounded by forest untouched for millennia, they stumble across an isolated old house. Inside, they find the macabre remains of old rites and pagan sacrifices; ancient artefacts and unidentifiable bones. A place of dark ritual and home to a bestial presence that is still present in the ancient forest, and now they’re the prey.

As the four friends struggle toward salvation they discover that death doesn’t come easy among these ancient trees . . .

Kritikerröster

This novel grabs from the very first page, refuses to be laid aside, and carries the hapless reader, exhausted and wrung out, to the very last sentence.
Often horror loses its power when the evil is given a face; in this case it only gets more disturbing.
With The Ritual Nevill has crafted some of the tensest scariest horror this reviewer has read for years.
The Ritual by Adam Nevill is a mind-twisting journey into the dark backwoods of terror. Deeply disturbing and absolutely riveting. (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times Bestselling author of Dead of Night and The King of Plagues)
Nevill makes the natural world deeply menacing, using the power of suggestion rather than explicit images to create a growing claustrophobic feeling as the difficult journey to return to some semblance of civilization embeds the quartet only further in the grasp of primal evil.
If you want something to make you scared of going into the deep, dark woods then I would highly recommend you pick up The Ritual. The Gruffalo it ain’t!
It has been over a week now since I finished this book and it has really stayed with me and I find myself thinking about it on numerous occasions, and this is another very good sign.
The Ritual didn’t just stop at sending a shiver down my spine, carrying on past that to leave me feeling all unsettled and resolved to stay away from large unexplored woods. A horror novel that leaves you feeling melancholy and thoughtful (as well as just plain scared); Neville is rapidly cementing his position as an author worth watching.
The Ritual, is now one of my all time favourite books, for me personally this is a powerful book that ticks every box in horror writing.

Spannende Geschichte, leider etwas zuviel an „Rückschlägen“ für die Hauptperson(en), die nichts wirklich Tolles zum Spannungsbogen beitragen, tw. werden auch falsche Maßnahmen beschrieben ( erste Hilfe mit Auswaschen blutender Wunden), was aber nichts Sinniges für die Entwicklung der Geschichte ergibt; an anderer Stelle werden die modernen Umstände/Erkenntnisse korrekt wieder gegeben (z.B. keine Jeans tragen). Das mutet dem Leser etwas seltsam an :-)
Aber gut gelesen.

Recht spannend, leider etwas überzogen

the world building takes up most of the book but isn't done particularly well. the climax is pretty good though same flaws still apply but the first 80% hold it back a lot

it's fine
