Synopsis

"Derelictions are horror stories told in ways you may not have encountered before.

Something is missing from the silent places and worlds inside these stories. Something has been removed, taken flight, or been destroyed. Us.

Derelictions are weird tales that tell of aftermaths and of new and liminal places. Each location has witnessed catastrophe, infernal visitations, or unearthly transformations. But across these landscapes of murder, genocide and invasion, crucial evidence remains. And it is the task of the reader to sift through ruin and ponder the residual enigma, to behold and wonder at the full horror that was visited upon mankind.

A dead ship carries a terrible cargo across a black ocean. Below deck, signs of slaughter and devotion await to tell a ghastly tale.
On a barren and hostile shore a great ritual has been enacted successfully. The act of a god may have taken place. But what kind of deity did this?
An eerily silent campsite. No sign of life. Look closer and observe the grisly artefacts of annihilation.
In the very foundations of this dreadful house, was something supernormal called upon to abolish life so mercilessly?

Wyrd contains seven derelictions, original horror stories from the author of 'Hasty for the Dark' and 'Some Will Not Sleep' (winner of The British Fantasy Award for Best Collection).

Praise for Adam Nevill's short stories:
"Beautifully crafted, original and complete works." 'This is Horror' on 'Some Will Not Sleep'.
"His stories weave their way inside of your head and plant seeds of doubt and terror. He is a master of creating oppressive, creepy atmospheres and of taking your imagination to places you would rather he didn’t." 'The Grim Reader' on 'Hasty for the Dark'.
"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.

Goodreads review by Gerhard on January 12, 2022

One of the great feats of horror done well is to stretch the minds of characters and the imaginations of readers into a consideration of our cosmic insignificance within vast swathes of time and space that we cannot even begin to grasp beyond formulae. I don’t know what the physical book looks like,......more

Goodreads review by Janelle Janson on November 17, 2020

WYRD AND OTHER DERELICTIONS is unique, experimental, and majorly creepy. Seven stories are written in an amazing and strange way. Adam Nevill is an exceptional writer and this collection just proves it even more. In every story the reader is plopped into the aftermath of a terrible event. It’s like l......more

Goodreads review by Mindi on November 16, 2020

Wyrd and Other Derelictions is a unique collection of stories. However, before I discuss those stories I must again remark in this review on Ritual Limited Publishing and their attention to detail. This slim volume is stunning in every way. Limited to 300 copies, only the best papers and materials a......more
