Harry Lindmark is a beleaguered medical intern reeling from the tragic loss of his infant, a grieving and increasingly distant wife, and now a growing body count under his watch. What begins as a tense hospital thriller quickly descends into a supernatural nightmare. The dead are returning, seeking resurrection through the wonders of modern medicine. To clear his name, Harry must outwit the leader of these dark souls, a physician every bit as cruel in death as he was in life.
Scott Eveloff crafts a pulse-pounding narrative that threads compassion and emotional tension through a chillingly imaginative supernatural horror premise. Harry is torn between personal tragedy and professional duty, making him a deeply empathetic and relatable protagonist, capturing the reader’s heart and drawing them closer. A captivating supporting cast, both living and dead, offers a diverse and inclusive spectrum of voices that enriches the story’s eerie foundation. With wit and masterful pacing, Eveloff navigates a variety of subject matters without losing momentum, weaving subtle humor, action, and gruesomeness like a stand-up comic performing at a funeral and somehow making it all work. This novel delivers a disturbing combination of medical suspense and paranormal horror that will leave readers gasping for breath.
Sublime Line: “Gripping, original, and frighteningly entertaining, this is a page-turner best enjoyed after your next hospital visit.”
