'Echo is a compulsive page turner mixing supernatural survival
horror and pulp adventure' Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of
Ghosts 'Hallucinatory, eerie and terrifying' Catriona Ward, author
of The Last House on Needless Street 'Echo is a haunting
contribution to the literature of folk horror' Ramsey Campbell 'The
most frightening opening scene ever written' The Guardian It's One
Thing to Lose Your Life It's Another to Lose Your Soul When climber
Nick Grevers is brought down from the mountains after a terrible
accident he has lost his looks, his hopes and his climbing
companion. His account of what happened on the forbidden peak of
the Maudit is garbled, almost hallucinogenic. Soon it becomes
apparent more than his shattered body has returned: those that
treat his disfigured face begin experiencing extraordinary and
disturbing psychic events that suggest that Nick has unleashed some
ancient and primal menace on his ill-fated expedition. Nick's
partner Sam Avery has a terrible choice to make. He fell in love
with Nick's youth, vitality and beauty. Now these are gone and all
that is left is a haunted mummy-worse, a glimpse beneath the
bandages can literally send a person insane. Sam must decide:
either to flee to America, or to take Nick on a journey back to the
mountains, the very source of the curse, the little Alpine Village
of Grimnetz, its soul-possesed Birds of Death and it legends of
human sacrifice and, ultimately, its haunted mountain, the Maudit.
Dutch writer Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a Hugo Award Winner and has
been hailed as the future of speculative fiction in Europe. His
work combines a unique blend of popular culture and fairy-tale myth
that is utterly unique. Echo follows his sensational debut English
language novel, HEX.
