À propos de cet audio

 INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A blood-soaked and nauseating triumph that cuts like a scalpel and reads like your darkest nightmare.

New York Times bestselling author Andrew Joseph White returns with the transgressive gothic horror of our time!

Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all.

London, 1883. The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old trans, autistic Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife.

After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness—a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness—and shipped away to Braxton’s Finishing School and Sanitorium. When the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxton’s innards and expose its guts to the world—so long as the school doesn’t break him first.

Featuring an autistic trans protagonist in a historical setting, Andrew Joseph White’s much-anticipated sophomore novel does not back down from exposing the violence of the patriarchy and the harm inflicted on trans youth who are forced into conformity.

Five stars are not enough for this heart-pumping, thought-provoking, layered and nuanced historical medical horror. The transgender and neurodivergent representation is perfectly written and is performed to perfection by the narrator. It is quite gruesome so if you’re squeamish, beware. But this is a must listen.

This book makes me feel incredibly seen and heard; such a well written book. Silas and Daphne have my heart.

This book really isn't bad, but it comes so tantalizingly close to being great that it's very frustrating. Technically, the story is fine. The setting, as well as the particular mechanics of the supernatural elements of the world are fairly unique and interesting. The characters, dialogue and general prose are all quite good as well, but the plot and pacing are all over the place, and a lot of the exciting bits seem to barely get started before they're over.
No spoilers, but rarely have I seen a story have such a good climax, only to so completely fail to stick the landing in the epilogue.

Finally, I feel like this book would probably be more enjoyable to read in print, because the narrator needs to effing CHILL. His depiction of one character in particular was so manic and shrill that towards the end of the story I wanted to reach through time and tell him to please just shut up whenever he brought out that voice, but his neurotic depiction of the main character was sometimes a bit grating as well. I get that he's depicting a neuroatypical person, but please keep in mind that this is a 10+ hour book and that people should ideally want to listen to it, and maybe dial it back a tiny bit.

After all that though, there is still a lot to like in this book and if the synopsis interests you, I'd still recommend trying it.
Just, maybe the print version if you can stand it.

Good, not great.
