500			_aThe 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. ***With a foil design behind the jacket, and an exclusive foreword by Stephen Graham Jones*** 'LaValle’s imagination is matched only by his narrative daring.' Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie '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 New Hyde Hospital’s psychiatric ward has a new resident. It also has a very, very old one. 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. 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. 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. But what can destroy the devil? ***Readers love The Devil in Silver*** 'I was hooked straight away.' FIVE-STARS 'An unsettling and troubling read, but one with tremendous heart and deeply memorable characters.' FIVE-STARS 'I was impressed with the quality of the writing. It’s intense, often frightening.' FIVE-STARS 'This was my first Victor LaValle book and it will certainly not be my last.' FIVE-STARS
