In ghastly harmony with the nightmarish visions of the award-winning writer's novels, these stories blend a lifelong appreciation of horror culture with the grotesque fascinations and childlike terrors that are the author's own. Adam Nevill's best early horror stories are collected here for the first time. A bestial face appears at windows in the night. In the big white house on the hill angels are said to appear. A forgotten tenant in an isolated building becomes addicted to milk. A strange goddess is worshipped by a home-invading disciple. The least remembered gods still haunt the oldest forests. Cannibalism occurs in high society at the end of the world. The sainted undead follow their prophet to the Great Dead Sea. A confused and vengeful presence occupies the home of a first-time buyer . . . Praise for Some Will Not Sleep: Selected Horrors - "Great storytelling, but across a wider palate and range of styles than you might have expected, leading to some delightfully unexpected visions and hellscapes." Gingernuts of Horror “There is not one single tale which feels less than the others, none which seem to be mere ‘filler’. They are beautifully crafted, original and complete works which nevertheless fit well together as arranged by the author.” This is Horror "In 'Some Will Not Sleep' nothing is sacred, nothing is safe, and goodness me, if you like horror fiction you’re going to absolutely love every damn minute." Pop Mythology "Eleven wonderfully macabre tales that cover the whole gamut of the horrific. The supernatural rubs shoulders with the bizarre, body horror and psychological trauma walk hand in hand." The Eloquent Page "Verdict: A collection full of creeping dread, well worth a read. 9/10." SciFi Bulletin "Some Will Not Sleep contains 11 short stories, 11 stories that takes you different times and places. 11 stories that will give you your fix of the macabre. 5 Stars" Terror Tree "It isn’t often that I read a short story collection and enjoy every entry, but with this book I did." The Grim Reader "There are eleven stories in the book, eight of which are written in first person narrative, and each and every one is a cracker – here you’ll find monsters (including those of the human variety), ghosts, arcane rituals and some of the most disturbing imagery." Anthony Watson "An excellent collection, recommended for anyone interested in the current surge in weird fiction or short stories in general." Unsung Stories Review: My favorite short story horror collection - I was looking for a new horror book and was getting tired of the newer Stephen King books with forced politics and woke subplots. This was the first Adam Nevill book I read and I was not disappointed. (I have read all but one of his books now.) This is one of my favorite short story books next to Stephen King's - Night Shift. Each story was great and unpredictable. I do not want to give any details away as far as what the stories are about. It's best to experience it raw and firsthand like the subjects in each story. I also loved the story notes at the end of the book where Adam shares his insight on each story. I loved the writing style and the descriptions and it reminded me of my favorite poet Ted Hughes. Adam writes eloquently, which is often mistaken as too wordy. To each their own, there's easier thriller books out there like Dean Koontz, if quick and simple is your style. But for the dark, weird, and real folk horror, then this is the book. I hope this book opens your horror path to the door of Adam Nevill like it did for me. Review: Excellent paperback - The quality of this paperback is very good. I love the satin texture of the front, back, and spine. The stories are whimsical and thrilling. Not super scary, but they’re a fun time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #903,527 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #370 in Horror Occult & Supernatural #1,220 in Ghost Thrillers #12,093 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 943 Reviews | ## Images ![Some Will Not Sleep: Selected Horrors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612phpBTuoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite short story horror collection *by M***D on November 2, 2025* I was looking for a new horror book and was getting tired of the newer Stephen King books with forced politics and woke subplots.

I love the satin texture of the front, back, and spine. The stories are whimsical and thrilling. Not super scary, but they’re a fun time. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I still enjoyed reading the stories *by G***Y on July 31, 2017* I am an avid reader of Short Horror Fiction, as well as Horror in general. This is my first foray with Mr. Nevill and I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed. Not that the tales in here aren't well written, because they are. They just weren't at the level of "horror" that I would prefer. All though many of the stories are weird, and creepy. None of them for me, really ever stepped out of the dark enough to really "creep" me out. Which is a bit of a shame, as the cover and title, as well as the description, really were a major selling point for me when I bought this collection. Even though I'm not overly impressed with the content, I still enjoyed reading the stories, and they are solid stories. In short I don't regret buying the book, and unless you are a niche horror connoisseur I think that this is a book that is worth giving a look at. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/37324513-some-will-not-sleep-selected-horrors](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/37324513-some-will-not-sleep-selected-horrors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
