The Nest

Product Information

There is a similar predictability in the choice of settings, which constitute a kind of sightseeing tour of New York City: here is Central Park looking lovely in the snow; next the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station; now let’s take a turn around the Museum of Natural History. The book feels like tourism in another way, too. In being almost tyrannically entertaining, nothing can ever really matter that much. Reading feels like day tripping – living shallow in these lives which, for all their drama, never sharpen out of slightly suffocating cosiness. In this way, the Plumbs’ various money issues can just feel, well, a little cheap. Gorgeous prose and exceptionally creepy descriptions make this book one of my favorite surprise discoveries. The writing quality of this author clearly displays a well educated man, and without question, a very talented storyteller. His vision and vocabulary is crisp and clean, submerging the reader deep into his very dark territory. An entrepreneur and his family begin to unravel after moving into an old country manor in England in the 1980s. Siegel, Tatiana (December 4, 2019).

The steady stream of blood, scenes of overtly graphic gore, and surprisingly good level of character development, make The Nest one of the better horror novels from the saturated 80's mass-market. Overall, The Nest is better than it should be though still pretty bad. Even I began to tire after a phonebook of characters meet their brutal demise. The remaining cast struggle to obtain significance until the final 20% of the book, which is admittedly excellent. The scientific explanations and epic showdown are well worth the slog through the more boring passages.

Typically, I find flowery writing to be very off-putting, an attempt at poetry that comes off as pretension. The Nest definitely has that vibe, but something about reading horrible, gory deaths written in such an artsy way had me rolling on the floor. It often feels like the author is parodying high-brow literature, so I get the impression that Mr. Douglas knew what he was doing here. This book was first published in 1980 so it really has that 80s creature/monster film vibes which I adore so much. I love the characters. The pacing is also great. The audiobook is amazing. Yeah, it really gave me the creeps.I wouldn't recommend the general horror fan to pay the crazy online prices for this, but anyone into the James Herbert/Guy N. Smith/Shaun Hutson-style critter novels, as well as those into the whole "trapped and hunted" theme, could certainly do worse than The Nest. Like characters in a Nancy Meyers or Richard Curtis film, they are vivid, animated and ultimately anodyne. Their grins are wry, their laughs are self-deprecating and their every other action seems perfectly matched to the conventions of people in books and movies.
