<p>"A chilling horror/sci-fi rollercoaster … the <em>X-Files</em> meets <em>Alien</em> … I think I may have held my breath for the entire duration." — Phil Hickes</p>
<p>"<em>X-Files</em> 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</p>
<p>"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</p>
<p>"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</p>
<p>"<em>The Deadsoul Project</em> is a relentlessly gripping thriller that had me transfixed from beginning to end. It’s ingenious, brilliant and terrifying." — Jonathan Stroud</p>
<p>"Interestingly constructed using prose and formal reporting, and moving back and forth through decades, this chilling read has elements of <em>The X-Files, Doctor Who </em>and more. Historical fiction with a terrifying difference!" — Lesley Parr</p>
<p>"The perfect balance of thrills and chills … It's a little bit<em> The X-Files</em>, a little bit Stephen King-lite and a lot of frightening fun." – <em>The Times</em> Children's Book of the Week</p>
<p>"Mystery, conspiracies, gore and horror make for a tense and compulsive story. An attention-grabbing read, not for the faint of heart." – <em>Irish Examiner</em></p>
<p>"Punk-era creature feature, with a similar vibe to <em>Stranger Things</em> … a thrilling read that pits kids against alien bodysnatchers, weaving together its three timelines with a satisfying conclusion." — <em>INIS Magazine</em></p>
<p>"Smith turns up the thrills to maximum in this fast-moving, terrifying and compulsive read that mixes a sort of <em>X-Files</em> vibe with monster transformations that sit somewhere between<em> Alien </em>and <em>Dracula</em>." — The Letterpress Project</p>
