The Deadsoul Project

Reviews / Votes

"A chilling horror/sci-fi rollercoaster ... the X-Files meets Alien ... I think I may have held my breath for the entire duration." - Phil Hickes "X-Files for a new generation ... 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 "Reads like a classic sci-fi horror and was full of moments that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - especially the ending!" - Cynthia Murphy "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. It's ingenious, brilliant and terrifying." - Jonathan Stroud "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 "The perfect balance of thrills and chills ... It's a little bit The X-Files, a little bit Stephen King-lite and a lot of frightening fun." - The Times Children's Book of the Week "Mystery, conspiracies, gore and horror make for a tense and compulsive story. An attention-grabbing read, not for the faint of heart." - Irish Examiner "Punk-era creature feature, with a similar vibe to Stranger Things ... a thrilling read that pits kids against alien bodysnatchers, weaving together its three timelines with a satisfying conclusion." - INIS Magazine "Smith turns up the thrills to maximum in this fast-moving, terrifying and compulsive read that mixes a sort of X-Files vibe with monster transformations that sit somewhere between Alien and Dracula." - The Letterpress Project
