Cameraman Richard Grey's memory has blanked out the few weeks before he was injured in a car bomb explosion. When he is visited by a girl who seems to have been his lover, his attempts to recall the forgotten period produce an odyssey through France and conflicting accounts of what happened. When Susan Kewley speaks to him of that time, he finds himself glimpsing a terrible twilight world - the world of the glamour.

Reviews for The Glamour

A tightly narrated slice of psychological horror. The Independent [a] cool, understated chiller. Priest's control over his story will keep you turning the pages as events slowly twist their way to an unseen climax. -- Brian J. Robb DREAMWATCH
