The M.D. - A Horror Story
The M.D.: A Horror Story is the second installment in Thomas M. Disch’s quartet of horror novels set in Minnesota. The narrative follows Billy Michaels, a boy who stumbles upon a magical caduceus granting him godlike control over life, health, and disease. With each passing year, as Billy matures, his understanding and manipulation of this daunting power intensify, ushering in a series of horrifying consequences. The tale is a dark and twisted exploration of the balance between healing and harming, as Billy grapples with the moral complexities tethered to his supernatural abilities. The master of horror, Stephen King, called The M.D. "one of the best novels of horror-fantasy [he'd] ever read."
