Synopsis

A chilling psychological thriller that explores the menacing evil behind the glittering facades of Manhattan’s skyscrapers.

Kay Norris, a successful and lovely book editor, moves into the posh Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan, into an apartment in a slender high-rise. A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building: a shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete.

Sliver is a sinuous erotic thriller, a hypnotic story of obsession, suspense, and stunning surprises. It is a novel about the ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings.

Review:

“Sliver is the ultimate fin de siecle horror novel, a fiendish good-bye wave to trendy urban living in the last decade of the twentieth century. Mr. Levin has in Sliver created the apartment dweller’s worst nightmare. As always, his characters have a texture and a reality that’s almost eerie, and the narrative is as stripped-down and efficient as an automatic weapon.”
- Stephen King

“Levin's latest thriller, Sliver, is as successful a page-turner as his first, A Kiss Before Dying, thirty-eight years ago. Ira Levin never gets serious, he just gets better. Grade: A.”
- Entertainment Weekly
