Description
Hex is a brilliantly spooky that slowly ascends into a high-octane resolution. A brilliant exploration of the nature of paranoia. One of Bert’s Best.
Publisher Description
The greats of fiction Stephen King and George R. R. Martin lead the fanfare for HEX, so be assured that Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s debut English novel is both terrifying and unputdownable in equal measure.
Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay, never leaves. Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut.
Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children’s beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she’s there.
Or what a threat she poses. Because if the stitches are ever cut open, the story goes, the whole town will die. The curse must not be allowed to spread.
The elders of Black Spring have used high-tech surveillance to quarantine the town. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town’s teenagers decide to break the strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into a dark nightmare.

This book, if you love this genre read it! Older generation living in fear and following orders, younger generation wanting freedom and not understanding why. Villagers ruled by pack mentality, bad choices, and the consequences of decisions people have made.
Who is truly evil?

Absolutely loved this book! Genuinely creepy and certain scenes have stayed with me even three months later. Eagle eyed for Thomas Olde Heuvelt now and looking forward to this third Englush translated book coming next year!
