The Silent Ones

di Gary Logan (Autore)

Silverwood Press, 2026

For ten years, the patients of Stillwater Psychiatric Hospital have been known by a single name: The Silent Ones. Eight children from neighboring towns. Eight families with no connection to one another. Eight seven-year-olds who stopped speaking within days of each other—and never spoke again. Doctors called it trauma. Psychologists called it childhood mutism. The institution called them untreatable. A decade later, they remain exactly as they were when they arrived. Silent. When psychiatrist Dr. Claire Maddox joins the staff at Stillwater, she inherits a collection of forgotten cases that no one expects her to solve. Most of the records have long since been archived. Most of the questions have long since stopped being asked. But Claire notices something no one else seems interested in. The same year. The same region. The same silence. As she reopens the forgotten cases, she discovers that every one of the Silent Ones is protecting the same secret—a secret that reaches far beyond the walls of the hospital and into a darkness that has been waiting for someone to remember it. What began as a psychiatric mystery soon becomes something far stranger. Because some fears fade with time. And some spend years waiting to be remembered. A haunting psychological horror novel about memory, silence, sacrifice, and the things we carry in the dark.
