Adam Nevill's The Ritual is an August Derleth Award winner.
It was the dead thing they found hanging from a tree that changed the trip beyond recognition.
When four old University friends set off into the Scandinavian wilderness of the Arctic Circle, they aim to briefly escape the problems of their lives and reconnect. But when Luke, the only man still single and living a precarious existence, finds he has little left in common with his well-heeled friends, tensions rise.
A shortcut meant to ease their hike turns into a nightmare scenario that could cost them their lives. Lost, hungry, and surrounded by forest untouched for millennia, things couldn’t possibly get any worse.
But then they stumble across an old habitation. Ancient artefacts decorate the walls and there are bones scattered upon the floors. The residue of old rites for something that still exists in the forest. Something responsible for the bestial presence that follows their every step. And as the four friends stagger in the direction of salvation, they learn that death doesn’t come easy among these ancient trees . . .

Fy for helvede en dårlig bog. Kvindehadet er dårligt skjult, alt hvad der er ondt of grufult i denne verden er åbenbart kvinders skyld, og dette er en af de få bøger hvor filmatiseringen har gjort den en kæmpe tjeneste og skrevet den om til det bedre. Fungere simpelthen ikke.

Del 1 - fantastisk Del 2 - unødvendig og virkeligt underlig.

Filmen er bedre!-men hvis du kan lide mange (rigtig mange!), lange beskrivelser af "hvordan frygt føles", kan den bog være en ide.Knækker dog (for mig) i sidste halvdel hvor...nej, spoiler.En skuffelse, fordi setting og præmis egentlig er så brilliant: Hvor gemmer de gamle guder sig?

Tror jeg desværre ikke var i det rette humør til den her bog da jeg tit misted hændling og fokus. Men det jeg fik oprettet var godt
