Echo: From the Author of HEX

ECHO is a compulsive page turner mixing supernatural survival horror and pulp adventure. You'll be happily rooted to your reading chair, safe (maybe) from the shadow of the Maudit
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
Hallucinatory, eerie and terrifying, Echo is an engine of menace, an icicle in your heart. I've rarely been so frightened and yet so transported by a book. It left me breathless
Can a place - say a mountain or a glen - be evil? Thomas Olde Heuvelt's 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
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
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
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
Evoking the sensibilities of Clive Barker's Sacrament while tinged with a Palahniuk-esque transgressive streak, this is, unquestionably, Thomas Olde Heuvelt's masterwork. Like a climber at the summit of a great mountain, this tale will chill you to the bone and leave you breathless
Nothing about this book feels derivative... it's too uniquely terrifying. Partly that's down to the deft remixing of conventional horror motifs like undead birds and pitchforkwaving villagers, but mostly, it's the climbing sequences, so vividly rendered that you can almost feel the windchill... It's rare to find a horror novel that's genuinely hair-raising, but every chapter here introduces some new nightmarish detail that'll push you to switch on every light in your home. Fans of Paul Tremblay and John Ajvide Lindqvist, seek this out
Chilling, stealthy, horrendous, ECHO grips like an ice-pick and chills like a glacier
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 year's horror scene
Echo is horrific, poignant, creepy, brilliantly written-expect to see it on bestseller lists and year's end best lists, and hopefully awards consideration. Don't sleep on this one
The most frightening opening scene ever written
