 Review 
Praise for HEX:“Thomas is a great writer, the next genre superstar.” –Paul Cornell“HEX is reminiscent of vintage Stephen King, and I can think of no higher praise. Chilling, moving and . . . profound.” –John Connolly“Olde Heuvelt’s HEX sets ancient magic against contemporary technology to create a kind of dark fairy tale that seems ultimately believable in today’s world. A terrific debut novel.” –Jeffrey Ford“HEX is a thoughtful horror story, and one that is all the more chilling for its uncompromising view of humanity. . . . I found the story and its ending uncompromising and inevitable.” – Robin Hobb“HEX takes the horror/thriller genre to a whole new level. It’s deeply unsettling, wholly original, brilliantly written and contains scenes that will haunt you for a long time to come. I dare you to read it.” –Sarah Lotz“Thomas Olde Heuvelt's HEX is a treat for all fans of dark fiction . . . a modern spin on the witch's curse story that forces us to take a closer look at ourselves. Who is really evil after all? It's may not be who you think. This is just the beginning and I can't wait to read his next one.” –Ann VanderMeer“Hidden tensions and human weakness trigger a witch-hunt that boils over into persecution, scapegoating and a shocking denouement. A powerfully spooky piece of writing.” –Financial Times“The best horror debut since John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Let the Right One In.” –Alan Kelly, Rue Morgue

From international bestseller Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes Oracle, a supernatural thriller where an omen from our past threatens the return of ancient forces that will change the world forever. The novel heralds the return of Robert Grim, the fan-favorite cult-hero from Olde Heuvelt's breakthrough novel HEX. On a foggy winter morning Luca Wolf and Emma Reich discover an eighteenth-century sailing ship stranded on a barren flower field, its name written on its side: Oracle. Emma, unable to resist, enters the hatch on the tilted deck. The ship's bell begins to toll and no one sees her again. Not much later, eleven people have disappeared, Luca and his mother have been absconded by a clandestine government agency which has questions, no answers, and are determined to uncover the ship's secrets before a media storm erupts. But as they force Robert Grim, a retired specialist of the occult with a strange history and a healthy dislike of authority, to unravel the mystery, the Oracle is revealed to be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened underneath the sea. What follows is a maelstrom of international intrigue, history, young love, humanity's relationship with climate and disease, and pure terror as they come face to face with an open doorway to apocalypse.

«HEX pone los pelos de punta y es fascinante». George R.R. Martin «Espléndidamente original». Stephen King «Se parece al Stephen King clásico». John Connolly Bienvenido a Black Spring, una población pintoresca con un macabro secreto: una mujer recorre las calles con la boca y los ojos cosidos, entra en los hogares y espía a la gente mientras duerme. La llaman la Bruja de Black Rock. Los vecinos se han acostumbrado tanto a su presencia que a veces se les olvida lo que ocurrirá si algún día abre los ojos. Para protegerse de curiosos, los fundadores de Black Spring han instalado equipos de vigilancia con los que mantienen la zona en cuarentena. Hasta que unos adolescentes, hartos de su aislamiento, deciden saltarse las normas y convertir la maldición en una experiencia viral. Nadie se imagina la siniestra pesadilla que entonces los aguarda. HEX es el gran éxito editorial de terror neerlandés que ha arrasado en ventas tanto en Europa como Estados Unidos. La Warner Bros. ha comprado sus derechos televisivos y cinematográficos.
