‘Olde Heuvelt overtreft zichzelf met November.’ Vrij Nederland Welkom in Bird Street, de gelukkigste straat van de Verenigde Staten. De bewoners wonen in kasten van huizen en zijn stuk voor stuk vitale, weldenkende en – de meesten van hen althans – ruimhartige mensen. En hun kinderen? Die zijn perfect. Je zou kunnen zeggen dat het de bewoners van Bird Street iets té goed gaat. Tot het november wordt. Dan breken de Donkerder Dagen aan. Luana en Ralph weten het en hun kinderen ook. Ieder jaar in november slaat hun geluk om en worden ze juist overvallen door ongeluk. Na een week of vier keert het geluk terug... maar wel tegen een prijs. Iemand moet sterven in de bossen achter hun huis. Gebeurt dat niet, dan grijpt het onheil om zich heen. En elk jaar stellen Luana en Ralph zich de vraag: hoeveel is een mensenleven waard? Met November, een moderne twist op het klassieke faustiaanse pact, geeft Thomas Olde Heuvelt een ongekend duistere inkijk in de menselijke ziel. Een spectaculair nieuw hoogtepunt in zijn oeuvre. In de pers ‘Olde Heuvelt overtreft zichzelf met dit eigentijdse, aangrijpende en superspannende horrorverhaal, waarin het onderwereldse een exponent is van de menselijke geest.’ ***** VN Detective & Thrillergids ‘Hij heeft in de Nederlandse fictie een loket geopend waarvan er geen tweede is.’ de Volkskrant ‘Geschreven in buitengewoon effectief proza dat je in Olde Heuvelts onwaarschijnlijkste fantasiekronkels doet meegaan. Met verslavende vertelvaart van een bingewaardige Netflix-serie, en ongeveer evenveel tussentijdse climaxen.’ VPRO Gids

Quiconque né en ce lieu est condamné à y rester jusqu'à la mort. Quiconque y vient n'en repart jamais. Bienvenue à Black Spring, charmante petite ville de la Hudson Valley. Du moins en apparence : Black Spring est hantée par une sorcière, dont les yeux et la bouche sont cousus. Aveugle et réduite au silence, elle rôde dans les rues et entre chez les gens comme bon lui semble, restant parfois au chevet des enfants des nuits entières. Les habitants s'y sont tellement habitués qu'il leur arrive d'oublier sa présence. Ou la menace qu'elle représente. En effet, si la vérité échappe de ses murs, la ville tout entière disparaîtra. Pour empêcher la malédiction de se propager, les anciens de Black Spring ont utilisé des techniques de pointe pour isoler les lieux. Frustrés par ce confinement permanent, les adolescents locaux décident de braver les règles strictes qu'on leur impose. Ils vont alors plonger leur ville dans un épouvantable cauchemar... « Une sorcière glaçante retient prisonnière toute une ville près de l'État de New York. Brillant et totalement original. » Stephen King « Un écrivain prodigieux, la prochaine superstar du genre. » Paul Cornell « Hex rappelle les meilleurs romans de Stephen King, et je ne connais pas de plus grand compliment. À la fois effrayant et émouvant, et même, à sa façon, très profond. » John Connolly « Une histoire fantastique qui fait réfléchir, d'autant plus effrayante pour sa vision sans compromis de l'humanité... Hex est un livre qui répond à la fameuse question de l'origine du mal. » Robin Hobb « Un concept fabuleux et inoubliable. L'auteur nous expose des événements surnaturels comme le ferait un Spielberg. » The Guardian « Une parabole réellement terrifiante sur la perversion humaine... l'histoire n'est pas seulement dérangeante, elle est effrayante... lisez, si vous l'osez ! » Kirkus Reviews « Des tensions cachées et la faiblesse humaine déclenchent une chasse aux sorcières qui dégénère en persécution, la recherche d'un bouc émissaire et un dénouement atroce. Un roman puissant qui fait froid dans le dos. » Financial Times « Le meilleur premier roman d'horreur depuis Laisse-moi entrer de John Ajvide Lindqvist. » Alan Kelly « Une histoire fascinante et pleine d'imagination qui vous hante. Hex est réellement captivant, avec son style qui entraîne le lecteur dans le monde de Black Spring pour ne plus le lâcher. » Fantasy Book Review « Un roman brillant qui fait froid dans le dos. Âmes sensibles s'abstenir. » Brave New Worlds « Entre Stephen King et La Cabane dans les bois, Hex se lit d'une traite. Avec son atmosphère étrange et intrigante, le roman de Thomas Olde Heuvelt surprend tout en donnant le frisson. » SFX « Un roman d'épouvante réfléchi et intelligemment construit. » Sci Fi Now
Hay quien dice que no hay nada peor que perder la vida. Cuando el alpinista Nick Grevers sale del coma, descubre que su compañero de escalada está desaparecido y lo han dado por muerto. Nick, que tiene la cara cubierta de vendas y horribles heridas, alega amnesia. Pero en realidad lo recuerda todo. Recuerda cómo ambos sintieron una singular atracción magnética por el Maudit, un pico remoto y escasamente documentado en los Alpes suizos. Recuerda la impresión de que no estaban solos. Recuerda que ahí arriba había algo o alguien a la espera... Y tampoco dice que ahora tiene una extraña sensación. Como si algo hubiera despertado en su interior. Tras cosechar un inmenso éxito con HEX, conseguir el aplauso de escritores como George R. R. Martin o Stephen King, resultar finalista del World Fantasy Award y ganar premios como el Locus, el Hugo, el Harland y el Kelvin del festival Celsius 232, Thomas Olde Heuvelt vuelve con una historia tan terrorífica como emocionante.
