About the book
Misery meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this genre-bending, claustrophobic hospital gothic from the bestselling author of The Death of Jane Lawrence.
Margaret is struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that has severely impacted her life, leaving her feeling lonely and isolated. While there is no known cure for her condition, she is doing her best to cope with it. However, everything changes when she is offered a chance to participate in an innovative medical trial at Graceview Memorial, where all expenses will be covered.
The terms of the trial are tough: Margaret will have to stay at the hospital full-time, undergoing a treatment that will almost completely wipe out her immune system before it regenerates. Although the process will essentially destroy a large part of her, she decides to go through with it. As the experiment progresses and Margaret's health deteriorates, she uncovers a sinister presence lurking within the hospital.
Struggling to distinguish between reality and the hallucinations caused by the trial's medications, Margaret fights to escape the dark forces present in Graceview's corridors as her physical and mental well-being continue to decline.
