I figured I would start a thread to this guy. Hopefully he becomes a rising star in the Horror world.
I went to his signing today for the US release of Hex. He has been on a 6 week american tour. I think he still has stops in South and North Carolina. If you are in the area I highly recommend going to his signing.
I haven't read the book yet but it sounds really interesting and it was nice to hear a few boardies have read it/are reading it. I'm going to start it tonight.
A few fun things about this guy. He is Dutch, the book Hex was original published in Dutch in 2013. Apparently there isn't much Horror in Holland. It was picked up by a US Publisher. Instead of doing a translation he actually did a re-write.
Olde Heuvelt actually comes out to Old Hill. He thought about taking on the English translation of the name but he mentioned there already is a Horror writer with the last name of Hill and Thomas is younger than him so he decided not to go by Thomas Old Hill.
It was a very enjoyable signing and I'll make sure to make some comments once Hex is done. He is also working on his next novel. It's about a climber who gets possessed by a Mountain. He wants to take a new take on the classic possession stories. Instead of being possessed by the devil or a demon he wondered what it would play out like to have someone actually possessed by a force of nature.
