Looking Glass Sound

Another twisty psychological horror novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street and Sundial

"DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK. Authentically terrifying." -Stephen King on Sundial

Failed writer Wilder Harlow has returned to the lonely cottage on the New England coast where years ago he wrote his first book, never published. Here, he intends to write his last - his masterpiece.

Wilder's protagonist is based on his nemesis, Sky, now dead. After the publication of Sky's first novel, Looking Glass Sound, Sky's fame and ego drove them apart. Wilder's last book will be a thinly veiled account of their friendship, and later, their enmity. This is Wilder's revenge.

As he writes, the lines between fiction and reality slip. Events in the manuscript start to chime eerily with the present. Wilder discovers notes in Sky's handwriting, written in his favorite green ink. Is Sky haunting Wilder? Or is something more sinister going on in the lonely cottage?

As Wilder goes deeper into the work, he fears he's losing his grip on sanity. And a terrifying question raises its head - is he writing about Looking Glass Sound, or is he in it?

Catriona Ward's latest novel takes twists and turns on the journey of one troubled author's final attempt to set the record straight.
