About this listen

Some doors are better left closed . . .

Darkly profound and utterly chilling, Apartment 16 is a work of compulsive psychological horror from the award-winning author of The Ritual, Adam Nevill.

‘Fast becoming Britain's answer to Stephen King’ – The Guardian


In Barrington House, an upmarket block in London, there is an empty apartment. No one goes in, no one comes out. And it has been that way for fifty years. Until the night watchman hears a disturbance after midnight and investigates. What he experiences is enough to change his life for ever.

A young American woman, Apryl, arrives at Barrington House. She’s been left an apartment by her mysterious Great Aunt Lillian, who died in strange circumstances. Rumours claim Lillian was mad. But her diary suggests she was implicated in a horrific and inexplicable event decades ago.

Determined to learn something of this eccentric woman, Apryl begins to unravel the hidden story of Barrington House. She discovers that a transforming, evil force still inhabits the building. And the doorway to Apartment 16 is a gateway to something altogether more terrifying . . .

Critic reviews

Nevill proves himself to be a first-rate literary bogeyman . . . a gloriously gruesome fever dream (SFX)
An impeccable slice of modern horror with a traditional sense of dread and unerring "keep the light on" suspense. A new British horror star is forcefully born (Maxim Jakubowski, author and editor of The Perfect Crime)
Not since reading Stephen King’s It has a book managed to instill such a feeling of fear and disquiet in me (fantasybookreview.co.uk)
A demonstration of what the field of horror is capable of at its very best (Black Static)
Nevill is fast becoming Britain's answer to Stephen King (The Guardian, on Last Days)
