The Devil in Silver is a terrifying and empathetic exploration of the horrors of institutional neglect, and the courage it takes to slay our demons – both real and imagined. Perfect for fans of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.<br/><br/>***With a foil design behind the jacket, and an exclusive foreword by Stephen Graham Jones***<br/><br/>'LaValle’s imagination is matched only by his narrative daring.' Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie<br/><br/>'Victor LaValle has been out here changing the horror game on the literary side for a long time.' Tananarive Due, award-winning author of The Reformatory<br/><br/>New Hyde Hospital’s psychiatric ward has a new resident. It also has a very, very old one.<br/><br/>When an altercation with the police leads to Pepper being mistakenly admitted to a mental institution in Queens, NYC, he doesn’t expect to stay there long. It will be a matter of days, he believes, until the misunderstanding is ironed out and he is released.<br/><br/>But as those days stretch into weeks, blurring into a cycle of bad food, endless hallways, and an ever-increasing mixture of sedatives, Pepper realises that the system isn’t just broken – it’s forgotten him. He must fight through the chemical haze to hold on to his sanity, but he has worse problems. There are rumours that a devil stalks the wards after dark – a monstrous figure with the body of an old man and the head of a bison.<br/><br/>As more patients begin vanishing, and the overworked staff cover up their disappearances, Pepper must unite the other inmates and kill the monster that’s hunting them.<br/>But what can destroy the devil?<br/><br/>***Readers love The Devil in Silver***<br/><br/>'I was hooked straight away.' FIVE-STARS<br/><br/>'An unsettling and troubling read, but one with tremendous heart and deeply memorable characters.' FIVE-STARS<br/><br/>'I was impressed with the quality of the writing. It’s intense, often frightening.' FIVE-STARS<br/><br/>'This was my first Victor LaValle book and it will certainly not be my last.' FIVE-STARS |
