An intensely unsettling read. -David Demchuk, author of The Bone Mother and RED X
VIOLENCE WAS HIS FIRST LANGUAGE. 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.
