I was astounded by HEX and the hype was certainly justified. It was inevitable that I would pre-order ECHO which I collected last week.. I’ve just started I AM LEGEND by R. Matheson and can’t wait to start ECHO once I finish that. Thanks for a great interview.

Thanks so much for this great interview. I read Hex awhile ago, and many on Books of Horror (Facebook) have been commenting on it lately. I read so much that I couldn't begin to recall the plot, although I remember enjoying the novel, but after reading your post here, I do recall it quite vividly. Now I must find Echo, even though mountain climbing is not one of my favorite things. Mr. Heuvelt looks quite young, so we may have a lot of great new fiction in our future.

Hex hits you with a great narrative conceit on the first page, then it lulls you into feeling the same anxious complacency about the witch as the townspeople. That would not be easy to pull off. The mountain climbing stuff in Echo is especially scary for people like me who are terrified of heights!

Looked for Echo and saw it's still in pre-order, but I'm sure our library will acquire it when available. I look forward to reading more by Heuvelt, including Echo, even though I think mountain climbing is for maniacs and adrenaline junkies. ;)
