Review ECHO is a compulsive page turner mixing supernatural survival horror and pulp adventure. Youll be happily rooted to your reading chair, safe (maybe) from the shadow of the Maudit * Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club *Echo is a haunting contribution to the literature of folk horror, and its scenes in the monstrous mountains convey a sense of uncanny dread that rises through terror towards awe. Few writers in our field have scaled such heights * Ramsey Campbell *Hallucinatory, eerie and terrifying, Echo is an engine of menace, an icicle in your heart. Ive rarely been so frightened and yet so transported by a book. It left me breathless * Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street *Can a place - say a mountain or a glen - be evil? Thomas Olde Heuvelts long-awaited second novel ECHO delivers an emphatic Yes! on a breath of icy air. His deft prose will have you absolutely frigid, sitting up straight and hearing every squeak in the house . . . and savoring every delicious frozen shiver * John F.D. Taff, Multiple Bram Stoker-Nominated author of The Fearing and editor of Dark Stars *Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a literary showman, proudly naming and displaying his influences before blending them into something unique and new. ECHO is a heartbreaking, intimate, and genuinely frightening epic * Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters *Thomas Olde Huevelt has outdone himself with ECHO. The climbing sequences are Jon Krakauer-esque, and the narrative evokes the terror of a vintage Dan Simmons or Peter Straub novel. Thrilling, horrifying, supremely confident storytelling * Nick Cutter *I just scaled Mt. Olde Heuvelt and let me tell you, the view up here is absolutely terrifying. Reading ECHO caused me vertigo. The sense of dread inspired by this breathtaking novel - the dread of something monstrous wearing the face of someone we love - reaches so deep, I can still feel the lingering chill in my bones well after putting the book down * Clay McLeod Chapman *Evoking the sensibilities of Clive Barkers Sacrament while tinged with a Palahniuk-esque transgressive streak, this is, unquestionably, Thomas Olde Heuvelts masterwork. Like a climber at the summit of a great mountain, this tale will chill you to the bone and leave you breathless * Ronald Malfi, author of Come with Me *Nothing about this book feels derivative... its too uniquely terrifying. Partly thats down to the deft remixing of conventional horror motifs like undead birds and pitchforkwaving villagers, but mostly, its the climbing sequences, so vividly rendered that you can almost feel the windchill... Its rare to find a horror novel thats genuinely hair-raising, but every chapter here introduces some new nightmarish detail thatll push you to switch on every light in your home. Fans of Paul Tremblay and John Ajvide Lindqvist, seek this out * SFX *Chilling, stealthy, horrendous, ECHO grips like an ice-pick and chills like a glacier * Daily Mail *An ambitious, capacious work... containing everything from psychological suspense to cosmic horror. With moments of wonder as well as terror, it looks likely to be one of the highlights of this years horror scene * Guardian *Echo is horrific, poignant, creepy, brilliantly written-expect to see it on bestseller lists and years end best lists, and hopefully awards consideration. Dont sleep on this one * Jeff VanderMeer *The most frightening opening scene ever written * The Guardian * Long Description Its One Thing to Lose Your Life Its Another to Lose Your Soul Totally, brilliantly original Stephen King on HEX Dutch writer Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a Hugo Award winner and has been hailed as the future of speculative fiction in Europe.
