Sliver

by Ira Levin Narrated by Soneela Nankani

Overview

Kay Norris, a successful single woman of thirty-nine, moves into the posh Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan's Upper East Side, into an apartment in a slender high rise, a ""sliver"" building.

A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building; a shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete. Sliver is a hypnotic story of obsession, suspense, and stunning surprises. It is a novel about ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings.

With ice cold precision, Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives, creates a mesmerizing story that culminates in a scene of electrifying suspense.

Editorial Reviews

award-winning author of Ghost Story and The Talism Peter Straub

[Sliver] is assembled like a Fabergé egg.”

Entertainment Weekly

Sliver becomes so irresistible that it will have you phoning in sick.”

New York Times

Proves, once again, that the author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives is a master builder of psychological thrillers.”

Chicago Tribune

[Levin] was one of the most inventive and satisfying novelists I’ve ever read.”

Daily Express (London)

It will scare you witless.”

Stephen King

Sliver is the ultimate fin de siècle horror novel, a fiendish goodbye wave to trendy urban living in the last decade of the twentieth century. Mr. Levin has in Sliver created the apartment dweller’s worst nightmare. As always his characters have a texture and a reality that’s almost eerie, and the narrative is as stripped-down and efficient as an automatic weapon.”

Evening Standard (London)

Levin really knows how to touch the nerve ends.”
