Book Description

November 2007
This time you know the monster's face It's the one you see in the mirror...For Mason Konrad the future's looking good. Parties, an apartment in the city, a well-paid job in TV, then one night he's attacked. Worse is to come: his attacker looks exactly like him. Soon he will understand that something unique has invaded his flesh - a certain monstrous 'something' that transforms ordinary people into replicas of him that are driven by evil bloodlust.As the body-count rises Mason fights to keep one step ahead of the Echomen. Meanwhile, the Echomen not only hunt him, his family and his friends, they conduct gruesome experiments on their own kind. They have their own mysterious agenda - and this is identity theft at its most extreme.Plunge in! This is horror loaded with raw power. It's a pinch of lovecraft. A splash of Rod Serling. A raging storm of nightmare, ferocity and blood.

More About the Author

Simon Clark is the author of the cult apocalyptic novel Blood Crazy: "everyone over the age of 19 has been driven murderously insane... children and teenagers flee for their lives..." His novels include Nailed By The Heart, Vampyrrhic, Whitby Vampyrrhic, Ghost Monster and a bloody fistful of others that earned accolades from magazines around the world. This from Hellnotes: 'Clark's is surely the most outrageous imagination to grace horror since the discovery of Clive Barker' And: 'I actually loved Blood Crazy. Not just liked it, but loved it.' A quote from Beyond.

Simon was raised in a family of story-tellers. One told of a human skull buried under the family's garage. Currently he lives in the North of England where Robin Hood once roamed, and where legends of monsters lurking in ponds and caves abound. 2010 sees the release of his latest novella, Humpty's Bones, from Telos Books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great premise- poor execution, July 13, 2008
By 
This review is from: This Rage of Echoes (Mass Market Paperback)
I was intrigued by the title and premise of this book. I opened it and read a few random paragraphs and the writing was solid and engaging. I purchased the book.

The book starts randomly with a bit too many elements than are needed. The author seems in love with his ability to add random, "creative" elements to the story. While this skill allowed the action to change directions rapidly, it did not make for a story. I often lost my ability to suspend disbelief as he piled on non-sequiturs

The main characters make huge personality changes due to transitory pressures upon them. The main character invents a wild belief of what is happening and it (the belief) transitions through hypothesis to fact without alteration. He states rules by which the antagonists must engage, but none of the rules are followed, most were not followed before the protagonist creates them.

I will say I read the book to its bitter end. I cannot say why. Perhaps I should have titled this review "So bad, you can't put it down." I do not think I will read another of this author's works. This should have never made it past the editor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but a bit disappointing, March 29, 2008

This review is from: This Rage of Echoes (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Simon Clark. I devour his books in mere hours instead of days. This novel, while no exception, was not one of his best. He stays true to his frenetic writing style and he builds the tension quite well, but at some point, it seems as if he lost his way. I love the idea of echoes - replicas of people that are basically violent and crazy. The idea of hundred and hundreds of the main character moving like a flock of sheep towards unsuspecting people is a frightening image. But the ending seems...phoned in. Please Simon Clark--write another Blood Crazy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Premise That Loses A Little Steam, December 11, 2007

This review is from: This Rage of Echoes (Mass Market Paperback)
3 AND 1/2 STARS

The first three chapters of Simon Clark's new book had my jaw on the floor. It's a wonderful premise -- a twist on the bodysnatcher concept -- that I dove head-first into reading. The interaction between characters was smooth and organic, and I really liked most of the twists throughout. However, the last third seemed like Simon was randomly coming up with things as he wrote them. Many things didn't feel crafted or well planned out, with revelations seeming quite silly. However, Echoes is still worth a read simply for it's originality, but it's one of Simon Clark's weaker efforts.
