About this listen
The red night of bells heralds global catastrophe. Annihilation on a biblical scale. Seeing the morning is no blessing. The handful of scattered survivors are confronted by blood-red skies and an infestation of predatory horrors that never originated on earth. An occupying force intent on erasing the remnants of animal life from the planet. Across the deserted landscapes of England, bereft of infrastructure and society, the overlooked can either hide or try to outrun the infernal hunting terrors. Until a rumour emerges claiming that the sea may offer an escape.
Ordinary, unexceptional, directionless Karl, is one of the few who made it through the first night. In the company of two orphans, he flees south. But only into horrifying revelations and greater peril, where a transformed world and expanding race of ravening creatures await. Driven to the end of the country and himself, he must overcome alien and human malevolence and act in ways that were unthinkable mere days before.
All The Fiends of Hell is a novel of alien horror from the four times winner of the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.

Secondly, there's some really fun concepts in the book such as the red light showing the beings and their appearance, as I generally enjoy these sorts of sci-fi blended horrors.
However, there's a LOT here that is similar to Dean Koontz The Taking and frankly I'd recommend the latter. Some examples- UFO/beings remove a bunch of people to cleanse the earth. A deep fog/purple light/darkness descends upon the town which aids in hiding the horrors/ monsters in the trees. Finding two children to lead to safety. Apparitions of people who have been taken.
I really enjoy a lot of Adam's conceots but sometimes it falls short for me. This was one where I could not get behind the protagonist as a bumbling fool who basically spends his entire time questioning what to do and not figuring much out as a resolution.
Falls short with similarities to The Taking by Dean Koontz
