Adam Nevill (also known as Adam LG Nevill) is an English writer of supernatural horror, known for his book The Ritual. ^{[1] [2] [3]} Prior to becoming a full-time author, Nevill worked as an editor. ^[4]

After publishing several novels through Pan Macmillan and St. Martin's Press, Nevill chose to self-publish his 2019 novel, The Reddening.
