"Filled with frantic death energy.
Entrancing, gruesome, and heartening too. hall's lyrical hospital saga shows
that we are small inside the grandiose mortality machine."
— Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth

"A
psychedelic, propulsive stream-of-consciousness narrative that feels at times
claustrophobic, at times conspiratorial, and at all times curiously
suspenseful. Unlike anything I've ever read."
— Nick Cutter, author of The Troop
"the patient
routine is a merciless, anxiety-charged, possible-apocalypse,
possible-zombie thriller, long narrative poem about the body in maddening
conversation with itself. luna rey hall takes us through the terrifying halls
of a hospital in lockdown while deftly exploring an immensely personal journey
through the shifting realities of an over-medicalized mind, a body snared in
systems that do not understand or serve it. The tension between inner and outer
worlds is relentless and the body horror hits all the worst/best buttons while
raising philosophical questions of identity and power. What a torturously smart
little book."
— Joe Koch, author of The Wingspan of
Severed Hands and Convulsive
