Özet
 Chosen for Simon Mayo's Radio 2 Book Club, this is the chilling new ghost story from the bestselling author of Dark Matter.

The Himalayas, 1935.

Kangchenjunga. Third-highest peak on earth. Greatest 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.©2016 Michelle Paver 20th Century Genre Fiction Ghosts Historical Fiction Horror Psychological Korkutucu Lanetli Duygusal olarak çekici Gerilim Kurgu

A wonderfully atmospheric and hugely enjoyable ghost story (Anthony Horowitz)
Looking for a proper ghost story? Thin Air is a creepy, compelling tale of a Himalayan climbing expedition, where strange events on the mountain stir dread and panic.
This vivid ghost story reads like a classic
There are no obvious shocks here but instead a sustained creeping dread as the likelihood increases that it's not all in Pearce's mind and that they are heading for tragedy just like Lyell and company. Subtitled 'A Ghost Story', this is very much the classic approach, concentrating on mood and subtllety to create chills in the reader. (James Evans)
Spellbindingly creepy (Eithne Farry)
Michelle Paver's descriptions of Himalayan mountain-climbing are terrifyingly lifelike - the lashing winds, glittering ice: you can see it all...Paver's style is lively and clear; and the tale just rips along...Just fantastic (Wendy Holden)
Chilling in every sense (Violet Hudson)
This haunting new novel and long-awaited sequel to the chilling Dark Matter certainly doesn't disappoint. The plot of Thin Air is undeniably gripping and a genuine page-turner. After finding herself mesmerised by the history, vastness and the terrifying solitude of the Himalayas, Paver used it as the setting for this undeniably gripping account of a 1935 expedition up Kangchenjunga. (Kate Whiting)
Paver's descriptions of the isolated and intimidating landscape create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that gets under your skin
A ghost story to chill and thrill...Like Touching the Void rewritten by Jack London, Thin Air is a heart-freezing masterpiece. (Amanda Craig)
There's just something about the bleakness, the sheer depth of the isolation and the unfamiliarity of this terrain to me that I love in this book. Put that alongside the fact that it's a mix of psychological thriller and ghost story , and you've got a winner.
The scariest part of the story for me was the bit with the rucksack. I think the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Very macabre and creepy
A hauntingly, spine chilling epic of a book!
I was surprised and delighted to find this an utterly absorbing tale that I think I would have read in one sitting regardless as once I began I didn't want to put it down
Thin Air is a wonderfully evocative and creepy story but it's more than that - it's a capturing of the awe of nature, the exhilaration of climbing and of a time during British colonialism which combined some noble endeavours but also an awful lot of ignoble behaviour. Of course, of course, of course, I recommend Thin Air to you.
I loved her previous ghost/terror novel, Dark Matter. This is similar, the tension tightens slowly, with the turn of every page, until you cannot put the book down.

Thin Air, like Michelle Paver's other ghost story, Dark Matter, is a excellently written, impeccably researched and imagined and thoroughly enjoyable listen. But it's not very scary. I think this is more because of the glut of horror fiction and the change in tastes since the 1990s and, also, that had this book been published in the 60s or 70s, or even the early 80s, it'd have been an instant classic of the genre. As it is, it falls a bit flat for me. But I enjoyed it, and will probably listen to it, and Dark Matter, again. Daniel Weyman provides an brilliant narration which never feels less than absolutely authentic, which only adds to the enjoyment. I think if you enjoyed Susan Hill's The Woman in Black, you'll find much to cherish here.

Immensely enjoyable, but not very scary

Beautiful writing and great narration. Original ghost story set against the background of a 1930's mountain climbing teams attempt to scale one of the himalayas lesser but more dangerous peaks. Can't recommend enough

Thin air... Brilliant original ghost story

Wonderfully atmospheric but what a pity that the author intrudes so abruptly at the end.

Dark Matter in the Himalayas

It was seriously captivating and had me hooked from start to finish! The way the atmosphere is built is awesome and you do often get a chill down your spine at certain moments. I came here after listening to Dark Matter and was not dissapointed!

Truly amazing!

I have listened to this story twice and on both occasions been delightfully scarred. I particularly enjoy listening around Christmas
