β€œβ­οΈ Margaret Culpepper has a rare, incurable autoimmune disorder that has isolated her from her friends and family and is close to costing her her job. When she is offered a paid spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial, Margaret jumps at the chance for a better life. She'll stay in the hospital for several months while her immune system is almost completely destroyed and then rebuilt. Once the treatment begins, though, Margaret begins to suspect that she isn't there for a cure. Instead, she seems to be a test subject for something far more sinister. Graceview's patients either emerge as entirely new people or die trying. Struggling to determine what is real, Margaret fights to find a way out before it's too late. The unreliable narrator, questionable medical practices, and eerie atmosphere combine for an intricate, well-written story.

VERDICT Starling's (The Starving Saints) newest novel is the kind of genre-bending tour de force that fans have come to expect from her. Equal parts medical drama, psychological thriller, and gothic horror, the book pulls readers in and refuses to let them go.”

I am entirely not prepared for another book release, but THE GRACEVIEW PATIENT is coming, and it got a starred review from @libraryjournal.bsky.social!

Hospital gothic! Unreliable narrator! Yellow Wallpaper meets House MD!

...and same populace that didn't understand inflation was largely due to global financial fallout from the pandemic(so blamed next admin & then voted in '24 from an ignorant, selfish POV), will also not understand that ongoing fallout can't be immediately remedied post-47th. I'm so sickened & angry.
