A peculiar misery stalks Minneapolis General Hospital in this supernatural medical thriller.
One hundred fifty years ago, the General was founded as a sanatarium and gathering place for the many amputees and bedraggled troops returning from the late War Between the States. It was a population as haunted as they were wounded—not one among them was whole in any sense of the word. They bled on the floorboards and gimped about one-leggedly, strode through the halls off-balanced with bodies that only half worked and arms stumped at the elbow or shoulder. More than a few had lost an ear or had had a nose shot away. A particularly unlucky lot had seen their lower jaws blown apart. These last looked ugly and sucked their food through straws. A few whistled as they breathed. The former soldiers seemed at times like illusory men, who had lived in another time altogether and now were dying by parts. These illusory men whispered into the walls of the General about the terrible things they had seen and done during the late war, things so awful they blighted the mind and burned a terrible misery into the soul.
Now, a hundred plus years later, that misery has been unleashed. And it’s hungry.
The Cadaver of Gideon Cathcart: a supernatural medical thriller.
A Haunting of Minneapolis General Hospital Novel, Book 1.
Within these walls, life ebbs warily and death is not the end.
