Lisa is a plastic surgery addict with severe self-esteem issues. The
only hospital that will let her go under the knife is New Hope: a grimy,
grey-walled facility dubbed "No Hope" by its patients.
Farrell is a celebrity photographer. His last memory is a fight with his
fashion-model girlfriend and now he's woken up in No Hope, alone. Needle
marks criss-cross his arms. A sinister nurse keeps tampering with his
drip. And he's woken up blind. Panicked and disorientated, Farrell
persuades Lisa to help him escape, but the hospital's dimly lit
corridors only take them deeper underground--into a twisted mirror world
staffed by dead-eyed nurses and doped-up orderlies. Down here, in the
Modification Ward, Lisa can finally have the face she wants... but at a
price that will haunt them both forever.
Sarah Lotz and Louis Greenberg met in a pub while bunking a crime
seminar and, as one does at pubs, discovered a mutual interest in
horror. Sarah, a crime novelist and screenwriter, was a die-hard zombie
fanatic; Louis, a literary writer, editor and recovering bookseller, had
studied vampire and apocalyptic fiction. Rejecting their initial plans
for a vampire-vs-zombie faceoff, they decided to write the first
mainstream South African horror novel together and S.L. Grey was born.
Sarah also writes the Deadlands series of zombie novels for young adults
with her daughter Savannah.
