It’s one of those books where the tension is so good, and there have been a few books like that this year, that you may likely bite the head off anyone who interrupts you while reading it. Adams’ writing style is what pulled me into the narrative and kept me there even during a second read. As a personal preference, I found myself wanting some of the other characters fleshed out a bit more in the book, which isn’t needed to make this dark tale one of my top ten in 2018. It wasn’t until after reading this eighty-eight-page novella that I learned that it’s a sequel to Adams’ short story ‘ Sunset Is Just The Beginning,’ wherein the backstory of the main character is given with just enough detail so that I get a sense of the child, and later in the book, the man he becomes.
In the Spring of 2018 Adams signed with KGHH Publishing, and his first book with them, featured in this review, is But Worse Will Come. His work appears in publications such as Weirdbook Magazine and Turn To Ash. Adams love for dark fiction was truly cemented when he was presented with a copy of Aidan Chambers’ Book Of Ghosts And Hauntings upon leaving primary school. Adams, a member of the Horror Writers Association and London native, grew up in the south-west of the city watching Hammer Horror, Rabid, An American Werewolf In London, The Kindred, and Poltergeist with his two older brothers.
