The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle
3.0
3.5 Stars.
Pepper has entered the mental institute. No real reason why. He is not insane. Well not much. He was taking up for his sometime girlfriend against her ex-husband and assaulted 3 plainclothes cops. He is supposed to be confined for 72 hours. Yeah right.
These characters are so fully described that I felt like I was right there with them. Shut up. I know it's the nut house. Dorry! I have a thing for old broads and this one was spectacular!
I kinda think she might be me in a few years. Back off me dudes.
Pepper realizes there is much more going on in the nut house after he is almost killed one night by the resident devil. People go missing in this place and its always deemed a suicide. The devil is there.
In the mist dark figures move and twist," Pepper said to her. "Was all this for real or some kind of hell?"
Ms Chris put one hand on her hip. "That from the Bible?"
"That's Iron Maiden," Pepper said.
This is horror but not in your face scariness. It terrified me how easy it is to be inhaled into the system and no one knows where you are.
The book does have a time period where the story does get draggy but I enjoyed the heck out of it. I probably laughed at times I should not have. But well it's me we are talking about.
If you haven't caused a scene in a psych unit, it's just because you haven't been inside long enough. Rock on Ms. Dorry.
