FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Silent Patient by way of Stephen King: Parker, a young, overconfident psychiatrist new to his job at a mental asylum, miscalculates catastrophically when he undertakes curing a mysterious and profoundly dangerous patient. In a series of online posts, Parker H., a young psychiatrist, chronicles the harrowing account of his time working at a dreary mental hospital in New England. Through this internet message board, Parker hopes to communicate with the world his effort to cure one bewildering patient. We learn, as Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facilitys most difficult, profoundly dangerous case - a forty-year-old man who was originally admitted to the hospital at age six. This patient has no known diagnosis. His symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. Desperate and fearful, the hospitals directors keep him strictly confined and allow minimal contact with staff for their own safety, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe on the outside world. Parker, brilliant and overconfident, takes it upon himself to discover what ails this mystery patient and finally cure him. But from his first encounter with the mystery patient, things spiral out of control, and, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings, Parker is forced to question everything he thought he knew.

Review A Library Journal Winter/Spring Best Debut Novel "Delightfully bonkers."—The New York Times Book Review "Crisp and creepy debut...the central plot and storytelling are gripping, built on smart psychological parrying and good old-fashioned gross-outs...entertainingly intense. A clever cocktail of psychological thriller and supernatural horror." —Kirkus Reviews "Taut debut...Fans of Alex Michaelidess The Silent Patient will want to check this one out." —Publishers Weekly "DeWitt imbues the narrative with existential horror, and its creeping dread will linger in readers minds. Fans of Alex Michaelides The Silent Patient (2019) and Zoje Stages Baby Teeth (2018) will gobble this one up." —Booklist "A bone chiller."—Library Journal "The Patient is a narrative of slowly building horror that will grip the reader with a continuous set of shivers."—New York Journal of Books "A stunning debut! DeWitts The Patient is a thrilling, compulsive page-turner that will appeal to fans of F. Paul Wilson, Sarah Pinborough, and Alex Michaelides." —Brian Keene, best-selling author and World Horror Grandmaster Award winner "Insidious evil is such an overused term, but there is no other way to describe what prowls the hallways of this riveting novella. A compulsive read I devoured in one day. And the ending . . . it still haunts me." —F. Paul Wilson, New York Times best-selling creator of the Repairman Jack series "The Patient is a fascinating and frightening read that comes at you like the monster under your bed." —Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author — Review Quote "Insidious evil is such an overused term, but there is no other way to describe what prowls the hallways of this riveting novella. A compulsive read I devoured in one day. And the ending . . . it still haunts me." --F. Paul Wilson, New York Times best-selling creator of the Repairman Jack series " The Patient is a fascinating and frightening read that comes at you like the monster under your bed." --Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author Excerpt from Book March 13, 2008 I write this because, as of now, I am not sure if I am privy to a terrible secret or if I myself am insane. Being a practicing psychiatrist, I realize that would obviously be bad for me both ethically and from a business standpoint. However, since I cannot believe Im crazy, Im posting this story because youre probably the only people who would even consider it possible. For me, this is a matter of responsibility to humanity. Let me say before I start that I wish I could be more specific about the names and places Ive mentioned here, but I do need to hold down a job and cant afford to be blacklisted in the medical and mental health fields as someone who goes around spilling the secrets of patients, no matter how special the case. So while the events I describe in this account are true, the names and places have had to be disguised so that I can keep my career safe while also trying to keep my readers safe. What few specifics I can give are these: My story took place in the early 2000s at a state psychiatric hospital in the United States.
