Glimpse

A Novel

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: Emma Galvin

Bestselling author Jonathan Maberry's Glimpse is a chilling audiobook thriller that explores what happens when reality and nightmares converge, and how far one will go to protect the innocent when their own brain is a threat.

Rain Thomas is a mess. Seven years an addict and three difficult years clean. Racked by guilt for the baby she gave up for adoption when she was sixteen. Still grieving for the boy’s father who died in Iraq. Alone, discarded by her family, with only the damaged members of her narcotics anonymous meetings as friends. Them, and the voices in her head. One morning, on the way to a much-needed job interview, she borrows reading glasses to review her resume. There is a small crack in one lens and through that damaged slice of glass she sees a young boy go running down the aisle of the subway train. Is he screaming with laughter or just screaming? When she tries to find the boy, he’s gone and no one has seen him.

The day spins out of control. Rain loses whole chunks of time. The voices she hears are telling her horrible things. And Doctor Nine, a spectral boogey man conjured in drug induced hallucinogens is now hunting her in the real world. Doctor Nine is also chasing that boy. A boy who looks so much like Rain’s dead boyfriend. Unsure whether she is insane or if the world itself is broken, Rain begins a mother’s quest for her lost child through a world where reality and nightmare are in a head-on collision. How far will one person go to save someone they love?

This. If Not Joe, Then This.

I don't know if everyone would call this horror, but it's my definition of this book. It reminds me of old Stephen King and of Joe Hill and maybe a little bit of Dean Koontz. Creepy but entertaining to a point where you can't stop listening. It was a true pleasure to read and the ending was awesome. I had to listen to it a couple of times to put it into perspective.

I'm almost never a fan of female narrators, but Ms. Galvin was the weakest point of the book. It didn't sound to me like she was invested in any way in the story (think Ray Porter). Most of the voices sounded the same to me. It's too bad.

Good story line

Enjoyed the story but I found that the pace lagged at times due to the overly descriptive style of the Author, it got tiresome after awhile and added nothing.

Really different (in a good way)!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and a good narrator. It had a slightly Stephen King vibe to it that I loved. Recommend.

Great story

A great story from a great storyteller. Jonathan Mayberry has been one of my favorite authors for very long time now and this novel does not fall short of any of his other works.

loved it!

couldn't wait to have to hit the road for work so i could find out what happened next!!
