chainsawheartbooks This was such an incredible follow up, I thoroughly enjoyed the first and this did not let me down. It was brilliant diving back into this world and finding out more stories from the small town of Neverbury. Chapter Three: It’s What’s Inside That Counts really stood out for me, there was something about it that I’m sure I won’t forget anytime soon, it’s wriggled its way into my brain. Honestly, I really hope we get to revisit this strange town again in the future.

J Weeks Welcome back to Neverbury, where everything is not as it seems. I was lucky enough to get an advanced reading copy of Chris Lynch's follow up short story collection set in the seaside village of Neverbury. I read the first one back at the beginning of 2024 and have been eagerly awaiting the follow up ever since. Chris takes the weird small town idiosyncrasies of Britain and combines them with all things horror, from the eldritch the the more traditional and hits all of the notes again as expected. For fans of The League of Gentlemen or Inside no. 9. These ten tales taken the reader on a quirky journey to some truly mundane aspects of life from MAMILs (look it up) to weird farmer types and each tale has a twist to keep the reader on their toes. It was pleasant to pop back into the village, it's a definite five star from me.

sharronjoyreads Amidst the horror there is the darkest humour and an almost whimsical feel the horror sneaks up on you, feeling almost normal in this place. The residents are quirky and they look after their own. This is such an entertaining read, each story a little glimpse into the weird and uncanny where ancient gods and demons live in suburbia, alien creatures stalk the woods and witches keep order. This is the second book in the series and I cannot wait for more from this small provincial village that harbours eccentric characters and the darkest horrors.

Horror Reads This followup to the very awesome Welcome To Neverbury continues its absolutely fantastic blend of horror/comedy. As in the previous book, the author takes us on trip through the weird bizarre town of Neverbury and its many terrors lurking underneath the small English town exterior... Put together, this book and the first is an engaging, often bloody, often funny, and always compelling look at a weird small English town. I highly recommend it.
