Book description
Lisa is a plastic surgery addict with severe self-esteem issues.
The only hospital that will let her go under the knife is New Hope: a
grimy, grey-walled facility dubbed 'No Hope' by its patients. Farrell
is a celebrity photographer. His last memory is a fight with his
fashion-model girlfriend and now he's woken up in No Hope, alone.
Needle marks criss-cross his arms. A sinister nurse keeps tampering
with his drip. And he's woken up blind... Panicked and disorientated,
Farrell persuades Lisa to help him escape, but the hospital's dimly
lit corridors only take them deeper underground - into a twisted
mirror world staffed by dead-eyed nurses and doped-up orderlies. Down
here, in the Modification Ward, Lisa can finally have the face she
wants... but at a price that will haunt them both forever.
Sarah Lotz and Louis Greenberg met in a pub while bunking a
crime seminar and, as one does at pubs, discovered a mutual interest
in horror. Sarah, a crime novelist and screenwriter, was a die-hard
zombie fanatic; Louis, a literary writer, editor and recovering
bookseller, had studied vampire and apocalyptic fiction. Rejecting
their initial plans for a vampire-vs-zombie faceoff, they decided to
write the first mainstream South African horror novel together and S.
L. Grey was born. Visit their website at slgrey. book. co. za
