Nicholas J Ripley's Aberration
Rachel Hannigan is a professional photographer for fashion models in Los Angeles. She has her own studio in Burbank, California, and is fairly successful in her field. However, her latest photo is quite unlike her usual. After witnessing a fatal accident, she gets the strange compulsion to take a photo of one of the victims.
Soon after, while on vacation in Hawaii, strange events begin happening. Ones that Rachel can't ignore . . . and they seem related to the photo she took. As the horrors begin to escalate, Rachel is forced to face a difficult question: Is something otherworldly actually hunting her, or has she finally lost her grip on sanity?

Wow what a wild ride! Rachel is dedicated to her craft of photography and knows here stuff. But that doesn’t stop her from taking pictures of things she shouldn’t, and that’s where the fun begins.
As she goes from event to event that always this looming eeriness to everything in this story, always reminding you that danger is just around the corner. It keeps you on edge. You never know when the next scare is going to come.
This book takes its time with its characterization and make sure it is done right. It is shot and easy to shoot through.
I’ve always been a fan of Nick‘s book, and i’ve noticed a sold jump in quality with his prose with this one. You always had to appreciate when authors are working hard to improve with their craft. And that is definitely what Nick does and why he is such a trusted author!

What a journey into madness this was! It’s hard to describe what I feel after reading this story given the amount of times I guessed wrongly where it was going.
What I loved about this book was how the author conveyed the disorientation of the main character so well, that at some point I had to ground myself again before continuing reading. But also, weirdly in its weirdness this book felt so normal in its setting and character dynamics, almost making the reader believe everything was going to be fine.
I believe this is one of those books that is perfect for film adaptation, and I can already picture the imagery on screen with the vibrant colours and the expressive body horror!
Horror lovers, this is definitely a book that you need to read, if you want to feel utterly messed with your head!
Thanks to the author for a copy and this is my honest opinion.

The book feels like getting dragged through someone else’s trauma-soaked hallucination, where every image, memory, and shadow wants something from you. What starts with one horrific photo becomes a paranoid, stomach-twisting nightmare that follows Rachel into paradise and rots everything she touches.

First off, let me start by saying that when I finished, I sat there and wondered what the heck just happened. In all the best ways.
Now. As a whole, the author has a firm grasp on the psychological horror genre. That much is clear. There were moments when I found my stomach was churning. His use of language and vocabulary to really drive things was extraordinary. The choice of vocabulary heightened the sense of horror and brought the reading experience to very much a sensory level, awakening all of the five senses. But, at the same time, the gore and violence felt purposeful and did not merely exist for the sake of shock value. Which, in my opinion, only strengthened the piece and did not at all run the risk of cheapening it. A task, I feel, is difficult in the horror genre and he did so masterfully.
The pacing of the piece escalated at a pace that felt natural, not starting at level one and suddenly blasting up to one-hundred. As the reader, I was able to see and experience the escalation in a level that was believable and made sense. I was able to see how we got to level one-hundred.
Furthermore, the MC is a woman in her 30s and being a woman in her 30s myself, I felt the author created her in a way that felt authentic, something I very much appreciated. She felt real and relatable, even when she is seemingly succumbing to madness. She wasn't a cartoonish depiction of a woman by any means. Additionally, her descent into madness or her reactions to experiencing this evil force was also handled with care and it felt visceral, not at all a caricature of mental decline. I felt her desperation and I felt that her experiences were very real to her. All of the characters felt believable as well, people that we may know in our own lives, and when something would happen to them, I truly felt saddened by it.
Overall, this book was exceptionally well done and I am glad that Nick selected me as one of his ARC readers.

What the Clive Barker acid trip just happened?
You think a horror story set in Hawaii can’t deliver on spooks?
Nicholas J. Ripley says, “hold my beer”.
Aberration is what the movie Smile wishes it was. This book is a terrifying, surrealist nightmare that starts as a brush on the back of your neck, then gradually puts you in a chokehold as the story goes on. Even when you reach the end, the chokehold doesn’t let go, because you’re left wondering “what the crap just happened?”.
There’s lots and lots and lots of rereading value, so get your murder board out!

Aberration by Nicholas Ripley is a classic horror story for modern times. While the plot is fast paced, the attention to detail is impeccable and evokes images that could easily have been in a Wes Craven film. It's as intriguing and addictive as it is dark and disturbing - a perfect mix for this genre. That said, this book contains graphic ... well, pretty much everything. The author provides a content warning pre-story, so make sure you take heed if there's anything you're not okay reading.
The story follows Rachel, a woman who has been through terrible trauma due to an abusive relationship. At the start of the story, she's broken, she's depressed, and unfortunately for her, it's all downhill from there when she witnesses a fatal and highly gruesome car crash. She finds herself drawn to one victim, whose face had been pretty much removed down to the skull. For reasons she can't explain, she takes a picture of it, and the consequences drive the rest of the narrative.
Rachel is an incredibly complicated character. The author beautifully balances her sympathetic and relatable side with her deeply flawed and frustrating traits. There are chapters where readers will want to hug her and others where they'll want to cup her upside the head. No Mary Sue here. Rachel is uniquely human, and no matter how many mistakes she makes, you can't help but want her to come out of this okay.
That said, Rachel is also an utterly unreliable narrator, which I loved. By using this technique, the author creates in the reader the same confusion and uncertainty our protagonist is suffering during the book. It adds a wonderful layer of mystery to the supernatural rollercoaster Ripley puts Rachel (and readers) through. What was real? Is any of it real? Is she crazy? Haunted? Both? I have my suspicions as to the answer, but it's far more fun to keep guessing, so I'll let future readers come to their own conclusions.
Aberration is creepy, clever, and a call-back to cult classics like Nightmare on Elm Street. Anyone who loves horror movies or books needs to check it out.

Thank you Nicholas J. Ripley for the eARC! I'm voluntarily leaving review, and my thoughts are my own.
Huge disclaimer: this book contains graphic and vivid descriptions of body horror and gore. If body horror (such as that on the cover), extreme violence, graphic depictions of gory moments, or dismemberment is not for you, I highly recommend skipping this book. I underestimated how graphic the body horror in the book would be, and I don't want other readers to make that mistake.
Additionally, this book contains content warnings at the beginning of the book. Please heed all the content warnings listed at the beginning of the book, which can also be found on the author's social media websites.
The MC, Rachel Hannigan, is a complicated character. She has some grade-A jerk moments throughout parts of the novel. She takes a photo of a gory accident, her judgment is suspect, and at her worst, she acts like a Karen. That being said, she's gone through a lot in her life, she's a good friend, and it's hard to not feel sorry for her, especially as strange events start happening to her. Rachel is a very, very unreliable narrator, and seeing the horrors from her perspective really emphasizes the creepy and trippy atmosphere of the book.
As stated in the disclaimer section, this book is gory. While the setting, Waikiki, Hawaii, is a beautiful place, most of the horrors that occur happen on the Hawaiian vacation. The author deftly uses body horror and suspense to scare and gross out both Rachel and the reader. There are illustrations at the back of the book, some of which show these scenes in all their horrendous glory. The main side characters are wonderfully fleshed out, and they allow us readers to see different sides of Rachel. It's hard to not feel bad for some of the side characters, too.
The ending of the book, without spoilers, is very open-ended. I understood about 10 to 15% of what happened once I'd finished this book. While there are no concrete answers, the open-endedness of the book is great for those who want to revisit the book and/or make their own theories as to what happened. If someone is looking for an open-ended horror novel, then I highly recommend picking up Aberration.

What starts out as a seemingly typical horror mystery, leads to a vicious, unrelenting fever dream akin to Smile (2022), except nothing ever seems to be reality. Which is possibly so much worse.
That leads into one of this book’s greatest strengths which is its pacing. The series of events gradually increasing and getting more and more violent and disturbing and surreal is very well done, and once you reach the halfway mark, there’s no turning back.
Another pro of Aberration is its cast of characters that, once they’re all introduced, feel very distinct and, immediately, their dynamics and relationships among each other can be easily felt and seen.
And lastly, another strength is the visual imagery. The gore. It’s visceral but also juxtaposed with its Hawai’i setting, with, again, the second half offering descriptive scenarios and scenes that make it very easy for you to imagine, and fortunately, that also makes it very easy for you to be disturbed or to have you wincing.
Overall, if you are a fan of non-stop dread or want to see the workings of a ruthless, uncompromising force, this is the read for you.

So it’s been a full calendar week since I finished this book and I still don’t know where to begin
This book is phenomenal.
It might also be the single scariest piece of horror media I’ve ever experienced
I’ve never read anything that feels so acurately like a super potent nightmare; it has to be experienced to be understood. I questioned just about everything that potentially happened and I still have a subtotal of 0.15 of an answer, if even that
The details are so carefully crafted too. The way depression is written about, the beach scene, the scissors… I could go on. But I despise spoilers in reviews, so alas I cannot.
The moment this book was announced I was invested; I knew it would be great.
This book is a masterpiece.

Rachel, an LA Photographer, was already having a bad day when she witnessed a car wreck. Something compelled her to take a picture at the scene. Not too long after, she’s off to play Maid of Honor at her best friend’s wedding, but that’s when strange things start to happen. Rachel is haunted by her past, is she haunted by the gruesome corpse she took a photo of or is her mind just unravelling?
Nicholas J. Ripley takes his readers on a front seat plummet down a rabbit hole that is spiraling into madness. Perfect for the reader who likes their horror told by the inflicted, 'Aberration' is the kind of story that is itchy and claustrophobic in the very best way, trapping the reader in a web of questions while danger and the unknown lurk in the darkness.

Thank you Nick for allowing me ARC read this: I wasn't disappointed.
This was such a fun, creepy read! I loved following Rachel Hannigan, a confident LA photographer whose life spirals after she snaps one photo she probably never should’ve taken. The mystery around that picture and the weird things that start happening in Hawaii kept me turning pages way past bedtime.
What I enjoyed most was not knowing whether Rachel was being haunted or just losing her grip. The author really leans into that uncertainty, and it made the story feel tense in the best way. The pacing is quick, the settings are vivid, and the creep factor definitely delivers.
Perfect if you like thrillers with a supernatural edge and a main character you can root for even when everything around her is falling apart.

Aberration is a relentless descent into psychological horror, and I was hooked from the first page. Nicholas J. Ripley crafts a visceral, haunting journey through Rachel’s pain - raw, unflinching, and unforgettable. The juxtaposition of Waikiki’s idyllic beaches with a world unraveling into chaos, hallucinations, and heartbreak is masterful. Every twist left me breathless, never knowing what horror would strike next.
If you crave horror that’s emotionally charged and atmospherically rich, this is a must-read. Aberration doesn’t just scare - it lingers.

This book had so many twists I’m still not sure what happened!!
Ripley takes you from a pleasant morning at a coffee shop to a literal level in hell where you can’t tell what’s real.
It’s dark and gripping, and will likely show up in my dreams….

Chilling, Unnerving, characters who feel real and want to see succeed but will they? Highly recommend if you're a fan of slow burn horror or stories that focus on introspection.

Ripley's Aberration is a fever dream of trauma, art, and guilt. Brutal, beautiful, and unnervingly personal. It was like reading an A24 movie.
Rachel Hannigan, a burned-out L.A. photographer, finds her world unraveling after a single haunting image pulls her into something far darker than she can understand.
Ripley balances gritty realism with dreamlike horror, blurring the line between trauma, art, and madness. Aberration isn’t just a story — it’s an experience that crawls under your skin and lingers. He is able to keeps one foot in gritty realism and the other in surreal horror. The first half feels grounded and human; the second plunges into nightmare territory, where mirrors, cameras, and faceless bodies all blur into questions about identity and the price of creation.
And the art…damn.

I started off as a fan of Nicholas J. Ripley's art work - which is utterly fantastic, trippy, gruesome and incredibly well detailed. When I saw he also wrote a book (again look at that cover!) I just had to see what else his mind could come up with.
What I read is a very unique, utterly unreliable yet eerily fascinating story of a photographer who is inexplicably drawn to a horrific accident scene and takes a photo that leads her down a dark path of the most surreal nightmare you can imagine.
How Nick's mind comes up with the things he does is beyond me, but as often as I found myself asking wtf is happening, I'm also left in awe of the creativity, the detailed descriptions and character/world building that Nick clearly took painstaking care creating. Rachel is uncompromisingly and unapologetically imperfect, and isn't afraid to admit it or just be who she is. Her narrative is unreliable, at best, but I found myself fascinated by her. This is almost like passing a terrible crash on the highway and even though you don't want to look, you feel yourself drawn in and unable to resist taking a peek.
While this may not be the genre for everyone, I think fans of true psychological thriller and horror stories will find themselves engrossed in Rachel's story.

I’m gonna need a moment to process what I just read 👀 This was weird, spooky, suspenseful, gory horror all mashed together in the best way 👏🏼 That hand/face monster thing? I swear it’s going to haunt my nightmares 🫣
It all starts when Rachel witnesses a gruesome car crash and gets the urge, of all things, to snap a photo of one of the victims 📸 Next thing you know, her life spirals fast and her Hawaii vacation turns into a full-on horror show. She starts seeing a strange man in a hat with a red skull face, a twisted version of herself, things that aren’t really there (or are they?) - it gets harder and harder for her (and the reader) to determine what’s real.
Nicholas J Ripley did an awesome job with Aberration! One of the things I love about his writing is how realistic, authentic, and diverse his characters are - they’re written in a way that brings them to life. And his art adds a whole new layer to the story. I played a track off the book’s playlist while flipping through the gallery at the end and it was the perfect way to close out the experience 👌🏼
This is the third book I’ve read by Nicholas J Ripley and he never disappoints. I’m a reader of his for life 🖤
