The Deadsoul Project by Dan Smith

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.

In 1977, the Alpine Heights tower block where Kyle Dempsey and his sister Lauren live with their mum and stepdad becomes the site of a horrific infestation. Believing their stepdad, Connor, to have been killed in action in Northern Ireland, Kyle and Lauren are shocked to find him at home in their flat. But Connor is changed. Following a secret military experiment, he has been infected with some kind of alien life form, which is using him as a host to infect the other residents of the tower block with gruesome results.

The first instalment of The Night House Files, a thrilling new sci-fi series which follows the huge success of the Crooked Oak adventures. For middle-grade readers looking to take the next step into longer fiction, The Deadsoul Project is perfect for fans of Doctor Who, Stranger Things and Jennifer Killick’s Dread Wood and Crater Lake books!
