Now a Netflix original movie, this deeply scary and intensely unnerving novel follows a couple in the midst of a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease. You will be scared. But you won’t know why… I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always. Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.” And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here. In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramago’s early work, Michel Faber’s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, “your dread and unease will mount with every passing page” (Entertainment Weekly) of this edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things

*Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal* A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, “one of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fiction” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news. Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him. She won’t be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company. Told in Iain Reid’s sparse, biting style, Foe is a “mind-bending and genre-defying work of genius” (Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Bogen bag Netflix-filmen. JEG OVERVEJER AT GØRE DET FORBI er en spændingsfyldt og nervepirrende thriller om en biltur, der får fatale konsekvenser. Jake og hans kæreste er på vej hjem for at besøge hans forældre på deres afsidesliggende gård. Da en snestorm bryder ud, tager parret en uventet omvej og strander foran en tom high school og søger tilflugt indenfor. I dagene efter efterforsker politiet et mord, der er sket på samme high school. Men hvem er offeret? Anmeldelser "Romanens konstruktion er fantastisk og usædvanlig ... særdeles ubehagelig at læse men umulig at lægge fra sig." – Booklist "Denne uhyggelige debut kortlægger en foruroligende rejse, hvor filosofi og frygt mødes ... Du har lyst til at skrige: ’Løb for livet.’ Og fortælleren kan høre dig. Hun hører bare ikke efter." – The Independent

Jeg overvejer at gøre det forbi

The author of the “evocative, spine-tingling, and razor-sharp” (Bustle) I’m Thinking of Ending Things that inspired the Netflix original movie and the “short, shocking” (The Guardian) Foe returns with a new work of suspense following an elderly woman trapped in a mysterious facility. Penny, an artist, has lived in the same apartment for decades, surrounded by the artifacts and keepsakes of her long life. She is resigned to the mundane rituals of old age, until things start to slip. Before her longtime partner passed away years earlier, provisions were made for a room in a unique long-term care residence, where Penny finds herself after one too many “incidents.” Initially, surrounded by peers, conversing, eating, sleeping, looking out at the beautiful woods that surround the house, all is well. She even begins to paint again. But as the days start to blur together, Penny—with a growing sense of unrest and distrust—starts to lose her grip on the passage of time and on her place in the world. Is she succumbing to the subtly destructive effects of aging or is she an unknowing participant in something more unsettling? At once compassionate and uncanny, told in spare, hypnotic prose, Iain Reid’s “exquisite novel of psychological suspense” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) explores questions of conformity, art, productivity, relationships, and what, ultimately, it means to grow old.

J'ai peur. Je me sens un peu fou. Je ne suis pas lucide. Les hypothèses sont justes. Je sens grandir ma peur. Elle a rencontré Jack il y a quelque mois. Ils s'aiment. Aujourd'hui, ils vont rendre visite à ses parents à lui. Pour qu'ils la connaissent. Mais elle reste étrangement absente à leurs échanges, à la joie du voyage et des présentations. Elle semble accaparée par les appels incessants sur son portable. Le road trip s'éternise et le malaise s'installe. Quelques heures plus tard, les voilà attablés face à leurs hôtes, dans une ferme reculée. Le fossé entre les deux amants se creuse sous le poids de tous les non-dits. Et il y a aussi cette angoisse qui ne cesse de monter, jusqu'à ce que se produise l'innommable... Distillé par un climat de terreur sans objet à la Stephen King, qui prend le lecteur en otage jusqu'à la chute, un thriller métaphysique sur l'incapacité du couple et la tentation de l'exil littéraire.
