Reviews

A masterful blend of laugh-out-loud social satire and stuff-your-fist-in-your-mouth horror. One elevates the other, making the book, and its message, all the more relevant.
*David Sedaris, New York Times bestselling author of Calypso*

Max Brooks has written the next great epistolary novel. Devolution is phenomenal
*Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box*

One of the greatest horror novels I've ever read. The characters soar, the ideas sing, and it's all going to scare the living daylights out of you
*Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter *

Another triumph from Max Brooks! . . . I can’t wait until he turns every monster from childhood into an intelligent, entertaining page-turner


*Stephen Chbosky, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Imaginary Friend and The Perks of Being a Wallflower*

A bloody good read
*Andrew Hunter Murray, bestselling author of The Last Day*

Unputdownable
*John Marrs, bestselling author of The One*

Thrilling and terrifyingly prescient. I love Max Brooks!
*Jenny Colgan, bestselling novelist and journalist*

Devolution is spellbinding. It is a horror story about how anyone, especially those who think they are above it, can slowly devolve into primal, instinctual behaviour. I was gripped from the first page to the last!

*Les Stroud, creator of Survivorman, filmmaker, and author*

For any fan of Bigfoot or cryptozoology, it's a referential treat.
*Guardian*

From the feverish imagination behind World War Z comes a chilling narrative like no other, as the freshly discovered journals of a massacre survivor posit the horrifying suggestion of supernatural forces at work. Dark, gripping and visceral, Devolution is a unique journey into terror.
