Sliver - Introduction by Jonathan Trigell

Kay Norris, a successful book editor, moves into the affluent Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan, into an apartment in a slender high-rise. A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building: a shocking secret is concealed within the walls. Sliver is a sinuous, erotic thriller that explores the menacing evil behind the glittering façade of Manhattan's skyscrapers; a hypnotic story of obsession and the temptation of ultimate power.

Summary

A sinuous, erotic thriller about obsession and the temptation of ultimate power

Report

Sliver is the ultimate fin-de-siècle horror novel, a fiendish goodbye wave to trendy urban living in the last decase 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 Stephen King
