Product Description
"A waking dream, at once powerful and subtly sinister." âClive 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 boyâs 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, heâs 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 yearsâin 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...
Review
"A waking dream, at once powerful and subtly sinister." âClive Barker, New York Times bestselling author
"Jonathan Maberry delivers a perfect suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat tale that will keep you riveted! Iâve 'Glimpsed' the future and no one tells it better than Jonathan. Jonathan Maberry is always my go-to author for awesome!" â#1 New York Times bestseller Sherrilyn Kenyon
"With Glimpse, Jonathan Maberry carries us into the fertile liminal zone between waking and dreaming. Monsters dwell there, but so do some unexpected heroes, and none is more unexpected than the tragically damaged Rain Thomas. Rain has been living her life just one small drop of hope away from hopelessness, yet itâs upon her slender and storm-tossed frame that Maberry hangs the fate of his world. Sheâs a poignant creation, and itâs impossible not to root for her as she makes her way through this wonderful (and wonder-filled) nightmare of a book.â âScott Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Ruins
"Jonathan Maberry is a shapeshifter of a writer, able to get into his characters so deeply that we never doubt his truth for a minute." âCharlaine Harris, #1 International bestseller

Raw and beautiful, detailed and explosive, here is a story that will haunt you long after you close the book.ââJames Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Seventh Plague
âWith GLIMPSE, Jonathan Maberry has crafted an extraordinary novel that transcends genre. He has created characters we long to know and touch; and a plot that twists and turns with each engrossing page. GLIMPSE is horror and a dose of fantasy. Itâs also about people, the human experience, both the frailty and strength that may come to the fore under extraordinary circumstances. A must read for those who
