"I'm Thinking of Ending Things begins with the unnamed narrator
setting off with her boyfriend to visit his parents at their remote
farm, and soon devolves into an unnerving exploration of identity,
regret and longing. Delightfully frightening."-- "The Globe and
Mail"
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things is an ingeniously twisted nightmare
road trip through the fragile psyches of two young lovers. My kind
of fun!"--Charlie Kaufman, Academy Award winning writer and
executive producer of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things is one of the best debut novels I've
ever read. Iain Reid has crafted a tight, ferocious little book,
with a persistent tenor of suspense that tightens and mounts toward
its visionary, harrowing final pages."--Scott Heim, author of
Mysterious Skin and We Disappear
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things is an utterly compelling modern
Gothic that stakes its claim in the inner precincts of horror. Reid
builds tension the way Edgar Allen Poe builds brick walls in his
basement."--Wayne Grady, author of Emancipation Day
"Reid's gradually building spookiness and plainspoken
intellectualism make I'm Thinking of Ending Things a smart and
unexpectedly fun book."-- "New York Journal of Books"
"The construct of this book is brilliant and unusual and should
appeal to fans of psychological thrillers, as well as to some
horror fans. A dark and compelling debut novel, it is a most
uncomfortable read but utterly unputdownable."-- "Booklist, Starred
Review"
"Here are some near-certainties about I'm Thinking of Ending
Things. Number One: You're going to read it fast. Over the course
of an afternoon or an evening. The momentum is unstoppable--once
you start, you won't be able to stop. And Two: once you race to the
end and understand the significance of those final pages, you won't
be able to stop thinking about it. This novel will find a spot in
your heart and head and it will live there---for days, weeks,
months, or (in my case) the rest of your life. Yes. It really is
that good."--Nick Cutter, author of Cataract City and The Deep
