This is a pretty muddled ghost and demon stew. Tasty in spots but there is too much of it by books end. The reader is left overfull. Last Days is pretty dreary even if the ideas at play are cool. We have a multi-century development of demon possession, reincarnation and every bit of fuckery in between especially in the present where most of the action takes place in the form of a documentary film about a religious group. I appreciate the author's reach here, of the three novels I've read by Adam Nevill, this one is the most ambitious, but it isn't his best. The Ritual remains my favorite.
