About this listen
Master of sci-fi horror Dan Smith delivers an action-packed adventure as secret organisation The Night House exposes the terrifying truth behind the Alpine Heights disaster.
Kyle and Lauren Dempsey believe their soldier stepdad is dead, killed in action in Northern Ireland. But then he turns up at their flat in the Alpine Heights tower block, terrifying changed.
One day later, a mysterious virus seems to be running rampant through the building and many residents are dead.
Nobody has ever discovered what really happened – until now …

"A chilling horror/sci-fi rollercoaster … the X-Files meet Alien … I think I may have held my breath for the entire duration." — Phil Hickes
"X-Files for a new generation – I loved so many things about this story. 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
"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
"Fantastically creepy! Fans of Wranglestone and the Dread Wood series will love this. A pulse-pounding start to a brilliant new series." — Kat Ellis
"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
"The Deadsoul Project is a relentlessly gripping thriller that had me transfixed from beginning to end. It’s ingenious, brilliant and terrifying." — Jonathan Stroud
"I love to be scared and creeped out and, with The Deadsoul Project, Dan Smith has provided this by the bucketload! And, oh my goodness – the tension! Interestingly constructed using prose and formal reporting, and moving back and forth through decades, this chilling read has elements of The X-Files, Doctor Who and more. Historical fiction with a terrifying difference!" — Lesley Parr
"Tense, fast-paced and entirely believable, this is a story for the brave and the bold – one not to read when you are home alone." — Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blog
"This fast-paced story is not for the faint-hearted … Fans of Jennifer Killick, the X-Files and Unsolved Mysteries will devour this new series … Accessible but a really meaty story, Luke Brookes’ illustrations make it look super cool." — Scope for Imagination, blog
