It all happened so quickly. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. Then, governments initiated the Transition. Now, 'special meat' - human meat - is legal. Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans, only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he's given a gift to seal a deal: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later. But the specimen haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her eyes that watch him, that seem to understand.

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths.

It's been years since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked Crow-on-Sea, and the events of that terrible night are now being published for the first time. That story is Penance, a dizzying feat of masterful storytelling, where Eliza Clark manoeuvres us through accounts from the inhabitants of this small seaside town. Placing us in the capable hands of journalist Alec. Z. Carelli, Clark allows him to construct what he claims is the 'definitive account' of the murder - and what led up to it.

At seventeen, Lenora Hope hung her sister with a rope. Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope's End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Publisher's Summary
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)

Incredible!
Not going too much into the storyline itself for fear of revealing spoilers, but this book is incredible for so many reasons! The performance from Candace Thaxton was very good too. It was very rare that I would have to think about who was speaking. Granted, this is not a book one can idly listen to while doing other things. I had to focus on what was being said and what was being happening to understand the climax of the book, but the payoff was well worth the effort. Definitely recommend!

Compelled a one-sitting listen
The narratress's voice is far too frantic. One of those audiobook readers who has the habit of putting too much emphasis on every line, every word (I found Andy Serkis like this). It makes the dialogue too fraught, makes the characters sound like they're always annoyed, makes every conversation an argument. I assume it's just the default vocal pattern she falls into with all her books. Reading the lines on the page they would be much more languid, low-key I think, and therefore more eerie. However the twist that comes in the narration toward the end was unexpected and very good (I wonder what it looked like on the page?).
As for the story, what I thought at first (going mostly off the Netflix movie trailer) was going to be a low-key postmodern vaguely feminist familial/folk horror piece turned out to in fact be a genuinely haunting, though not very harrowing, postmodern exploration of mental illness in a way that felt to me at least truly original. The 'twist' I saw coming, if not a mile away, then at least a good few hundred yards away. How very sad. And more than a little close to home.

Disappointing
The performance was great, I was hooked right up until the end but was let down by yet another story using mental illness as a plot device and in doing so, leaning into incredibly harmful stereotypes. The ending was so disappointing and frankly I’m tired of seeing films and reading books use lazy writing and label it a psychological masterpiece.

Had high hopes for this story as it was recommended and meant to be a really good horror book, but was confusing, the suspense didn't really lead to anything and there are so many unanswered questions.
This is just my opinion though, you may love this book

I was both bored and intrigued
Spoilers
To be honest I have no clue what actually just happened, I'm very confused. At the end it felt as if I'd just watched the movie Identity, with the guy who tells a story, but all the characters were parts of his personality and it was all in his head. Is that what happened here? I found it intriguing but it was also pretty boring for the most part. I'm glad i read it, but I doubt I will still be thinking about it by tomorrow.

Great story - probably better in paper form
Loved this story and listened to the whole thing over a few days. However, I think this might be one of those books which is better in paper form. I have subsequently bought the book and especially towards the end, there were certain aspects, like italicised writing and repeated phrases, which have a greater visual impact. Still thoroughly enjoyed.

atmospheric and creepy but ultimately fizzles out
An intriguing narrative draws you in and gives genuine creeps without it being clear why. ultimately though the story falls into the trappings of a lot of 'twist' narratives where most of the narrative feels redundant once you know then ending.

I'm Thinking of The Ending... A Lot!
I'll be honest, this book was probably a 2, maybe 3-star at best, before the final third. This is definitely one of those that hinges on the ending whether someone will like the book or not. For me, it makes everything I read up to that point make sense and has had me replaying the events of story over in my head ever since. It completely floored me. Which isn’t something I thought about 4 hours into this 5-and-a-half hours audiobook as, while I was never bored, I was oftentimes thinking where the seemingly meandering plot was heading. I’m glad I knew nothing about the plot when starting the read as I felt it was incredibly rewarding to discover the story as it was being told, regardless of how frustrating some of the elements were.
Would highly recommend for fans of horror, and as said before, try going into this one cold.

Just pure brilliance
This book is brilliant, not much else to say really. Reid creates a story that is so grimly disturbing but that you don’t want to put down for even a second.

Physical book may be better
Found the audiobook very hard to follow - I've since found the book has italicised portions etc to denote different occurrences which is lost in this. Didn't get any of the suspense as often couldn't figure out what was happening / who was talking
