About the Book:
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.

Scott Eveloff writes a mix of medical thriller and horror
In Do Not Resuscitate, the reader is brought into the life of Dr. Harry Lindmark, a medical intern grappling with personal loss and the overwhelming pressures of his first year in the ICU. I haven't read anything by this author before, and what a hidden gem. Eveloff creates a chilling story that dives into the high-stakes world of hospital life, where the line between life and death blurs into something far more sinister. What a captivating story. The story weaves medical realism with supernatural elements. Eveloff builds tension, creating an atmosphere of dread that lingers long after the final page. The characters are well-developed, with Harry’s internal struggles and moral dilemmas adding depth to the plot and subplots. The pacing is perfect for this type of story, with enough twists and turns to keep this reader guessing. This story is a definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it down. This story is absolutely chilling, with death around every corner. What a gripping and incredible storyline. I just became a big fan of this author!

Kindness is not weakness.
It’s the strength to listen when others turn away.
It’s the courage to speak gently in a loud world.
It’s the choice to see worth in every soul—especially our own.
I created this campaign because I’ve been dismissed.
But kindness refuses to be silent.
Join me. Wear it. Share it. Live it.
