Graceview Patient

Description

Afflicted with a rare autoimmune disease, Margaret enters the decaying Graceview Hospital to undergo an experimental immune-reset treatment that will nearly destroy her body before rebuilding it. As the grueling procedure progresses, pain, isolation, and hallucinatory episodes begin to fracture her sense of reality—and Margaret discovers something sinister spreading through the hospital’s failing corridors. A visceral work of body horror and psychological suspense, the novel explores disability, medical trauma, institutional power, and the terrifying loss of agency at the hands of those entrusted with healing. Caitlin Starling’s precise, unsettling prose transforms Margaret’s search for recovery into a feverish descent where transformation may come at an unbearable cost.
