Resumen del Editor

"An eerie and virtuosic debut" (Helen Phillips, author of The Need) about a paranormal investigations TV show that loses control of its subject as they investigate a haunted house

Eve is a frustrated young artist and the owner of what she believes is a haunted house. Sandra is an overworked producer at Searching for . . . the Invisible World, a paranormal investigations show perpetually on the brink of cancelation.

When the show descends upon Eve's home, they’re intent on creating just another staged spectacle. But, unexpectedly, the crew encounters some very real activity—shelves collapse, electronics go haywire, a cameraman disappears in the dead of night. Meanwhile, the show’s teenage ghost hunter Caitlin is caught up in the unexplained events, convinced she’s glimpsing the “other side” and desperate to make contact—even if it means putting the investigation, and herself, in jeopardy.

As the terror mounts, it's up to the show’s harried, skeptical producer, Sandra, to create order from the madness—or will the madness take her, too?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A thought-provoking debut novel. . . . Readers are more likely to be kept up at night because they can’t put the story down than because of any truly terrifying scares. More than anything, The Invisible World invites readers to consider a more human proposition: What happens when a woman is dismissed — and what power may be unleashed when she is finally believed?" —The New York Times Book Review

"Captivating and atmospheric. . . . The Invisible World offers a refreshing take on horror, inviting readers to question the boundaries of reality and the human psyche. If you relish the enigmatic allure of Twin Peaks and crave a spine-tingling experience, Nora Fussner’s novel is a must-read, showcasing her mastery of evocative storytelling in the realm of the supernatural." —Maudlin House

"Akin to Jac Jemc’s The Grip of It but unlike any ghost-hunting novels before it, The Invisible World is a masterpiece of innovative storytelling and psychological horror." —Library Journal (starred review)

Not what I expected

Far too many unanswered questions. Crows? Ronnie? Storyline line hard to follow. I would not recommend

Good narration, confusing story

I’m not sure what the purpose of this book was. The premise was unique and I enjoyed the first couple of chapters. The story got more and more confusing as it went on and there are SO many unanswered questions. Nothing very exciting happens and I’m left very confused.

great use of multiple readers!

This book features a reality TV show, complete with interview segments. The use of an ensemble cast made it much easier to keep track of everyone. The woman who read for Caitlin was particularly strong, really bringing her to life. The story was suspenseful and the music and pacing added to the effect. Loved listening to this.

I was hooked!

Absolutely loved this novel. Unforgettable characters, heart-stopping horror, perfect pacing, and beautifully written to boot. Make this your next listen.
