INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A blood-soaked and nauseating triumph that cuts like a scalpel and reads like your darkest nightmare.

 New York Times bestselling author Andrew Joseph White returns with the transgressive gothic horror of our time!

Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all.

London, 1883. The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old trans, autistic Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife.

After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness—a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness—and shipped away to Braxton’s Finishing School and Sanitorium. When the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxton’s innards and expose its guts to the world—so long as the school doesn’t break him first.

Featuring an autistic trans protagonist in a historical setting, Andrew Joseph White’s much-anticipated sophomore novel does not back down from exposing the violence of the patriarchy and the harm inflicted on trans youth who are forced into conformity.

I was gripped the whole time! I’ve only recently dabbled into horror and this has shown me how much I’m into gore. The characters were also all well done. Big fan of the author and have his other book on my bookshelf to be read.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Love how the book was written so descriptively twisted & sick. Love the surgical references & gore.

Was read wonderfully

As a transmasc autistic with severe anxiety, it is extremely rare to hear almost my exact point of view in a character. the biggest departure being surgery and human anatomy as a special interest.

This book is brutally honest without engaging in torture porn and is a thrilling experience. I do not know if it would hit someone who does not view the world through this lens as hard, but I hope it would instill a spirit of empathy. The horrific practices centered around a fantastical premise still happen for different reasons, even today.

But take care, this books trigger warnings should be taken very seriously.

an excellent body horror experience

amazing book, I love Daphne and I relate a lot with Silas being a trans man myself. Plus the voice of Raphael Corkhill is amazing, it made the experience ten times better, the emotion was so much in the tender moments, in the angry moments and especially when the rabbit was talking. I always love gore of any kind. I love Andrew's books so much, they are just written so weelll :)

I love this book smm

I loved how detail it was. Amazing story that explains just how it feels to sometimes be a transgender in our world. We need more stories like this. Would highly recommend!!!

It was so descriptive! Like I was there watching in person!
