Book
Echo / Thomas Olde Heuvelt ; translated by Moshe Gilula.
"After a terrible accident high in the Alps, travel journalist Nick Grevers wakes from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. But Nick claims to not remember anything-even whatever horrible event that led to his maimed face and the plastic surgery that leaves him still in bandages and feeling like a B-movie monster. Sam, Nick's long-suffering boyfriend, wants to be glad that Nick is alive and coming home. But the accident has stirred up terrible memories-and it's beginning to seem that Sam isn't just being haunted by his own mistakes or Nick's own trauma. Because it turns out that-though Nick was the only body airlifted off that mysterious peak-he didn't come home alone, after all. And now, their uninvited guest is awake"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary
Echo
From international bestselling sensation Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes Echo , a thrilling descent into madness and obsession as one man confronts nature--and something even more ancient and evil answers back. "A compulsive page-turner mixing supernatural survival horror and adventure." --Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers' Club Locus Award Finalist! Nature is calling--but they shouldn't have answered. 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 how the slopes of Maudit were eerily quiet, and how, when they entered its valley, they got the ominous sense that they were not alone. He remembers: something was waiting for them... But it isn't just the memory of the accident that haunts Nick. Something has awakened inside of him, something that endangers the lives of everyone around him... It's one thing to lose your life. It's another to lose your soul. Also by Thomas Olde Heuvelt Hex
