Just read THE DEADSOUL PROJECT by Dan Smith.
Something awful invades a 1970s tower block & two kids fight for their lives.
This is fantastic horror/sf book, scary & tense, with a clever “investigative” structure to the story.
Brilliant stuff!
@dansmithauthor.bsky.social @barringtonstoke.bsky.social
Book: The Deadsoul Project, first book of The Night House Files, by Dan Smith. Cover shows some kids looking up at a tower block with a helicopter flying overhead.

Just finished this incredible book. I knew a little bit about Josephine Baker but Dance of Resistance does an incredible job of packing in the life story of a woman we can only wonder at. Catherine Johnson does it again! @barringtonstoke.bsky.social @catwrote.bsky.social
