At The Velvet Room, everyone comes to disappear. Some of them never return.
When nightlife photographer Julian Vance enters Manhattan's most exclusive underground club searching for his missing sister, Anya, he expects drugs, secrets, and beautiful people behaving badly.
He does not expect a laboratory beneath the dance floor.
The Velvet Room was secretly created by brilliant and sadistic physician Dr. Elias Vane, who uses unsuspecting ravers as human test subjects for experimental party drugs. Every drink, flashing light, bass frequency, colored wristband, and private invitation is part of a carefully controlled trial.
When the club's secret anthem, Paging Dr. Beat, begins to play, the crowd rushes toward the hidden basement dance floor. Tiny silver spoons appear. Bodies surrender to the rhythm. Memories vanish.
And behind smoked glass, the doctor watches.
As Julian follows Anya's trail deeper into the club, he discovers a world where failed test subjects are quietly removed, healthy organs are sold, and the purest blood is siphoned into 1.75-liter wine bottles for the ultrawealthy.
The most terrifying discovery is that Anya may still be alive.
She is not merely a prisoner.
She is Dr. Vane's most valuable experiment.
To save her, Julian must expose the nightclub's elegant owner, Silas Thorne, survive the horrors beneath St. Jude's Hospital, and confront the devastating possibility that his own photography helped the monsters choose their victims.
Dark, glamorous, twisted, and relentlessly suspenseful, The Veins of Midnight is a psychological horror thriller filled with corrupt medicine, dangerous nightlife, sinister humor, and the terrible price of surrendering yourself to the night.
The music is calling. The doctor is waiting. And midnight is hungry.
