Banquet For the Damned by Adam L.G. Nevill
4.0
The second of Nevill's novels that I've read, 'Banquet' was an interesting tale with some pretty scary moments.
I found this story less gripping than 'The Ritual' but I suppose that is to be expected given the vast differences in the stories. I chose to read 'Banquet' because I live in Scotland and am fairly familiar with St. Andrews. I enjoyed the way that Nevill employs the ancient city not only as a backdrop for his story but also as a character within it.
If you are looking for something drop-dead scary, this might not be the novel for you, but if you fancy an occult tale with some interesting elements and a rich descriptive landscape, give it a try.
