Master of sci-fi horror Dan Smith delivers an action-packed adventure as secret organisation The Night House exposes the terrifying truth behind the Alpine Heights disaster.
In 1977, the Alpine Heights tower block where Kyle Dempsey and his sister Lauren live with their mum and stepdad becomes the site of a horrific infestation. Believing their stepdad, Connor, to have been killed in action in Northern Ireland, Kyle and Lauren are shocked to find him at home in their flat. But Connor is changed. Following a secret military experiment, he has been infected with some kind of alien life form, which is using him as a host to infect the other residents of the tower block with gruesome results.

"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. It's 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." - Scope for Imagination, blog
