      By Pottle, Adam
       2023., Dark Matter INK Click to access digital title.     Summary Note: After years of imprisonment, a Deaf teen escapes his father's basement. Bloody, alone, and without language, he stumbles through the Saskatchewan prairie until he lands in an isolated psychiatric facility, where he meets Felix, another Deaf teen, who eagerly teaches him Sign Language. As the two grow closer, the ambitious and cunning Felix begins to see his pupil less like an individual and more like a mind that he can mold in his own image, and as his ego grows, his plans to break free from the facility become increasingly more dangerous.Told entirely from a Deaf perspective, Apparitions is a powerful story like no other. With prose compared to Cormac McCarthy and Jack Ketchum, this is horror literature at its finest.

But Iris knows her husband is the true criminal; she is no lunatic, only guilty of violating Southern notions of property. A pompous superintendent heads this asylum populated by wonderful characters, including his self-diagnosing twelve-year-old son, a woman who swallows anything in sight, and Ambrose Weller, a Confederate soldier whose memories terrorize him into wild fits that can only be calmed by the color blue, but whose gentleness and dark eyes beckon to Iris. The institution calls itself modern, but Iris is skeptical of its methods, particularly the dreaded "water treatment." In this isolated place, she finds love with Ambrose. But can she take him with her if she escapes? Will there be anything for them to make a life from, back home? This novel is the story of a spirited woman, a wounded soldier, their impossible love, and the call of freedom.

From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him, to international medical experts who are baffled by him, to the national press who call him Mr. Nobody, everyone wants answers. Who is this man? And what happened to him? Some memories are best forgotten. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Emma Lewis is asked to assess the patient in a small town deep in the English countryside. This is her field of expertise, this is the chance she's been waiting for, and this case could make her name known across the world. But therein lies the danger. Emma left this same town fourteen years ago and has taken great pains to cover all traces of her past since then. Places aren't haunted . . . people are. But now something--or someone--is calling her back. And the more time she spends with her patient, the more alarmed she becomes that he knows the one thing about her that nobody is supposed to know"--
