About this ebook
'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
Travel journalist and mountaineer Nick Grevers awakes from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. Nick's own injuries are as extensive as they are horrifying. His face wrapped in bandages and unable to speak, Nick claims amnesia - but he remembers everything.
He remembers how he and Augustin were mysteriously drawn to the Maudit, a remote and scarcely documented peak in the Swiss Alps. He remembers an ominous sense that they were not alone. He remembers something waiting for them . . .
Sam Avery wants to be glad that Nick is alive and coming home, but the accident has stirred up memories that Sam thought were long buried. Soon he realizes that it isn't just the trauma of the accident that haunts Nick. Something has awakened inside of him, something that endangers the lives of everyone around him . . .

this is very difficult. the story is amazing and terrifying. 5 stars for originality and making me too scared to use the toilet at night. But the writing is so bad, or rather the spelling and maybe the translater is at fault here. I can't fully enjoy a story if the bad spelling reminds me that I'm reading. Spelling a word "cuz" and suddenly changing to "because" is very jarring. And don't even get me going with the spelling of "Coupla".
