Review

A superior supernatural excursion from the author of The Keep and The Tomb... Hair-raisingly plausible ideas, winningly developed, set in a well-paced, gripping narrative. His best so far.
Kirkus Reviews

[Not] a horror novel in the usual sense, and variations on this idea have been used before, but rarely with the skill and entertainment value of this fine novel.
*The San Francisco Chronicle

*Wilson delivers a fast-paced, suspense-filled novel that keeps the reader on the edge of their seats until the very last page.*Times Record News* (Wichita Falls, TX)

A delightfully enthralling medical horror story.
