bookshelves: give-yourself-to-the-master

In a near future Great Britain , which is struggling to cope with a pandemic, out of control climate change and economic collapse, an unnamed father embarks upon a descent into hell as he searches for his daughter who had been abducted two years earlier.
Lost Girl was a gripping psychological horror, but my word was it grim.
The future as Adam Nevill sees it is very scary indeed and entirely plausible.
The father, as he searches for his daughter, finds himself having to compromise his morality and committing greater acts of violence. This was really well done and felt authentic.
The writing was very good indeed, stripped back to the bone and fast-paced.
Some great characters, especially one who has a distinct Hellraiser vibe about him, giving a sense that something truly supernatural and horrific is waiting in the wings to take advantage of the chaos.
Very good but unrelentingly bleak, I finished this book feeling distinctly uneasy.
