Shortlisted for the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel (2012).

The Devil in Silver was named to the best books of the year list by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly. Pepper is the surprised inmate of a mental institution in Queens, New York. In the darkness of his room, on his first night, a terrifying creature with the body of an old man and the head of a bison nearly kills him before being hustled away by the hospital staff. It's no delusion: The other patients confirm that a devil roams the hallways when the sun goes down. Pepper rallies three other inmates in a plot to kill the monster that's stalking them. But can the Devil die? The Devil in Silver is a thrillingly suspenseful literary work about friendship, love, and the courage to slay our own demons.
