The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle

3.0

This is a good read, not quite as much 'horror' as I was expecting, given the description, but a glimpse into a poorly-funded, badly maintained psychiatric ward and the intricacies of the relationships between the tenants therein.

The Devil stalks the halls, yet his appearance is more of a side note along the journey rather than the focus of the entire tale. The emotion elicited is more a vague curiosity about what will happen next rather than a creeping dread of the horrific. Nevertheless, it was a decent read.
