FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR...

'The novel virtually defines a new genre: literary creepy ' JEFFERY DEAVER

'Paver is the mistress of suspense' GUARDIAN

'An atmospheric ghost story' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

The Himalayas, 1935.

Kangchenjunga. The sacred mountain. Biggest killer of them all.

Five Englishmen set off from Darjeeling, determined to conquer the sacred summit. But courage can only take them so far - and the mountain is not their only foe.

As the wind dies, the dread grows. Mountain sickness. The horrors of extreme altitude. A past that will not stay buried.

And sometimes, the truth does not set you free.

Industry Reviews

Taut and claustrophobic, Thin Air is a classic ghost story interwoven with a gripping exploration of the horrors men can inflict on each other in the name of ambition. Emotionally compelling and filled with the same creeping dread that filled the pages of Dark Matter, in Thin Air, Michelle Paver has secured herself a place at the summit of a genre mountain alongside the likes of M R James and Susan Hill. - Sarah Pinborough

A wonderfully atmospheric and hugely enjoyable ghost story

'Evocative, chilling and superbly unsettling, it is very good indeed' - BOOKSELLER

This gripping ghost story has moments of horror and beauty - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

'Paver's descriptions of the topography are marvellously vivid and add to the sense of menace that suffuses the story' - SUNDAY TIMES

An atmospheric ghost story that would give Susan Hill a run for her money - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
