Reviews
“A novel that feels like a puzzle . . . Olde Heuvelt deftly juggles many characters while delivering chapters full of supernatural mayhem. This is a novel that toys with the end of humanity, but the threshold to the apocalypse has seldom been so fun. This is Olde Heuvelt’s sharpest, most compelling work to date.”—The New York Times
“Cleverly takes the reader on a hard-to-predict path, which leads from haunted ship to thriller-like government shenanigans to some pretty bloody fights and an extended action sequence involving a helicopter and an oil rig. . . A compelling page-turner.”—Wall Street Journal
“Told in the style of an international thriller and featuring a huge cast of well-developed characters, the novel is a deep dive into how the tendrils of the past can reach out and force humanity to heed a warning”—Library Journal
Praise for Thomas Olde Heuvelt
“The long-awaited new novel from the Dutch author of Hex is 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.”—The Guardian, on Echo
“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.”—Jeff VanderMeer, on Echo
“Totally, brilliantly original.”—Stephen King, on Hex
“Creepy and gripping and original.” —George R.R. Martin, on Hex
“A touch of strangeness, of alienness, avoiding sub-Stephen King clichés. [Olde Heuvelt] has written five novels already, and publishers should be lining up to translate them.”—The Wall Street Journal, on Hex
“One of the most original, clever, and terrifying books to be published in the 21st century.”—New York Journal of Books, on Hex
