Do Not Resuscitate: Hospital Evil...Where No One Can Hear You Scream

By: Scott Eveloff

Narrated by: Deborah Kosnett

“Do Not Resuscitate - An inventive combination of high-stakes hospital drama mixed with supernatural horror, fueled by a terrifying villain from beyond the grave who turns a medical intern’s life upside down with his nefarious plan to get revenge for his own death.” –Erik Bork, author, screenwriter on HBO’s Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon

When medical intern Harry Lindmark’s patient gruesomely dies, he fears an Angel of Death is loose in his hospital. Soon, however, Harry falls under suspicion when unexpected deaths mount. His desperate investigation to clear his name reveals a nightmarish conspiracy—hungering souls of those long-dead are killing his patients, led by the vengeful soul of former physician Sylvester Morrow, as heartless in death as he was in life. Their motive is as unimaginable as it is grotesque—they are seeking escape from a painful afterlife limbo by claiming bodies left vacant at the moment of death only to be restored to life through modern medical resuscitation.

Burdened with his infant’s death and a wife grieving alone due to his long hours, Harry must now confront a more urgent challenge. How can he overcome entities that have already escaped the limits of life itself? The dead have their own plans for the living they envy, leaving Harry in desperate pursuit of some solution to save all those he cares about.

In today’s hospitals, instruments of healing can so easily be turned into instruments of death. With a belief in worlds existing beyond, Do Not Resuscitate becomes uncomfortably possible.

Creepy and Unique Medical Thriller

I found Do Not Resuscitate intense and very different from typical hospital stories. The mix of medicine and supernatural horror kept me hooked and a little uneasy. I liked how the mystery slowly built while the stakes kept getting higher. I think this is a great read for anyone who enjoys dark and suspenseful thrillers.

Mysterious and dark

This book explores a really cool and interesting concept and it’s something that most people who never think about. How the main character overcomes the challenges is fascinating.

Creative and Captivating

I was drawn in immediately and finished this twisty novel in one day. The storyline moves at a rapid pace. It’s part medical thriller, mystery with paranormal elements. It’s both creepy and heartfelt. I especially like the vivid writing style. The details are almost palpable. Looking forward to more!
