About this listen

Soon to be a Netflix film directed by Charlie Kaufman

Jake and his girlfriend are on a drive to visit his parents at their remote farm. After dinner at the family home, things begin to get worryingly strange. And when he leaves her stranded in a snowstorm at an abandoned high school later that night, what follows is a chilling exploration of psychological frailty and the limitations of reality.

Iain Reid's intense, suspenseful debut novel will have listeners' nerves jangling. A series of tiny clues sprinkled through the relentlessly paced narrative culminate in a haunting twist. Reminiscent of Michael Faber's Under the Skin, Stephen King's Misery and the novels of José Saramago, I'm Thinking of Ending Things is an astonishing and highly original literary thriller that grabs you from the start - and never lets go.

Critic Reviews

"In a novel this engaging, bizarre and twisted, it shouldn't come as a surprise that its ending is even stranger than the narrative route that takes us there...but it does. Reid's novel is a road trip to the heart of creepyness." (Sjon)

"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)

"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)

Wow! This was some listen. I don’t want to get into the story or the plot, and would highly suggest that you don’t read the blurb (if your edition has one). All I’ll say is that this is superrrr creepy. It gives you all the weird scary feels, even though there’s nothing technically scary happening. From what I see, people either love it or hate it. I definitely enjoyed it.

Big big big shoutout to the narrator - she is fantastic! Don’t know if it was her or the writing (most likely, it was a mix of both) but my heart was beating loudly during half or more of this book. This is not an exaggeration at all. The narrator is brilliant, and the book format, being in first person, also lends brilliantly to being heard. I actually think this book is probably better heard than read.

All in all, gave me all the creepy feels. I actually didn’t understand the ending initially but when I did, I was like- oh my god. This is one of those - “what is even happening” kind of books, but in a good way. Would definitely recommend.

Creepy, scary, intriguing

I love it when characters strike up a good conversation and nerd each other out. literature is so good and witty. In the end I got an eerie feeling, I wish I was listening to the end in the morning instead of night. Somehow it's more like horror. I don't know if I will suggest this book for entertainment, I am not sure about anything about this book. What the f*** did i listen to, what was the point of it.

Not sure if i understand the ending.
