"A waking dream, at once powerful and subtly sinister." --Clive Barker, New York Times bestselling authorA chilling 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.From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry comes a novel that puts a bold new spin on the supernatural thriller.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. She has no idea where her days went. The voices she hears are telling her horrible things. And even stranger things are happening. Unsure whether she is going insane, Rain sets out to find answers to long buried questions about an earlier life she has avoided for years--in what may be the most dangerous collision of all, that between reality and nightmare.How far will one person go to save someone they love? Read on at your own peril...

3 1/2 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ✨
Rain‘s life is spinning out of control and now her nightmares are coming to life. This one is a bit of a slow burn, but totally worth it. I was surprised by some of the twists and the ending. This a bit different from Maberry‘s YA books but good in its own right. I especially love Monk, a cross between a private detective and paranormal vigilante.

FlowerFairy Really enjoyed this one. 6y

1. Hmm. Maybe Deadpool 2 or Avengers Infinity Wars.
2. Go somewhere like a museum of art, or a garden, that we haven't been to before. Movies are good too.
3. 3
4. I generally like this author, or so I thought, but not this book.
5. Already on it!

I love this author's young adult works. This was my first read of his adult fiction, and I think it is different than his usual series. It seems very Stephen Kingesque. I like Stephen King. But I didn't really like this. Got half way through and decided to move on.

tracey38 I haven't heard of this author. What do you like of his YAs? 6y
tonyahoswalt @tracey38 He has a YA series that starts with the book tagged. It takes place after a zombie virus has hit, but it's about the people, the family, the relationships. This came out before the Walking Dead got so popular I think. Excellent series! 6y

Ever pick a book with a synopsis that really intrigued you, just to start reading and think "Wow, this just got really strange" or "That's not what it said it was about". I mean I like weird, I do, I just wasn't expecting this level of weird from this book. This picture is just a snippet of the weird.

Glimpse by Jonathan Maberry is a refreshingly original thriller that kept me totally captivated (but also incredibly nervous!) throughout. I just couldn't wait to see how this story played out!

I highly recommend this book to #thriller fans who love character driven stories with very dark and interesting elements of the paranormal.

1. LoL Well, this one was in my head when I woke this morning and it‘s not a song for everyone. You‘ve been warned 🤪 S.O.B. By Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.
2. Actually finished the tagged book last nights &have yet to begin another. Five stars for sure!
3. Hmmm... probably The Stand by Stephen King
