The Deadsoul Project

"A chilling horror/sci-fi rollercoaster the X-Files meet Alien I think I may have held my breath for the entire duration." Phil Hickes "X-Files for a new generation I loved so many things about this story. The setting and set up are the perfect starting points for such a chilling tale, and it built to a climax so tense that I held my breath for what seemed like longer than humanly possible." Jennifer Killick "Fantastically creepy! Fans of Wranglestone and the Dread Wood series will love this. A pulse-pounding start to a brilliant new series." Kat Ellis "Genuinely creepy and strange thriller, combining horror and sci-fi to great effect. I was hooked from the first couple of pages. Reminded me (fondly) of the paranoid sci-fi of the 1970s in which it is partly set." Chris Priestley "The Deadsoul Project is a relentlessly gripping thriller that had me transfixed from beginning to end. Its ingenious, brilliant and terrifying." Jonathan Stroud "I love to be scared and creeped out and, with The Deadsoul Project, Dan Smith has provided this by the bucketload! And, oh my goodness the tension! Interestingly constructed using prose and formal reporting, and moving back and forth through decades, this chilling read has elements of The X-Files, Doctor Who and more. Historical fiction with a terrifying difference!" Lesley Parr "Tense, fast-paced and entirely believable, this is a story for the brave and the bold one not to read when you are home alone." Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blog "This fast-paced story is not for the faint-hearted Fans of Jennifer Killick, the X-Files and Unsolved Mysteries will devour this new series Accessible but a really meaty story, Luke Brookes illustrations make it look super cool."
