Praise for The Silenced
"The Silenced is a fantastically eerie ghost story that unflinchingly reveals the sharp teeth of history and how it can draw blood. Dread-inducing at its core, you’ll tear through the pages even while wanting to look away. A must read for any horror fan with an appetite for restless ghosts.”—Vincent Tirado, award-winning author of Burn Down, Rise Up
“The Silenced isn’t just a gripping story—it’s a raw, unflinching look at the horrors hidden behind the walls of so-called ‘Troubled Teen Industry (TTI)’ programs. Wallach doesn’t shy away from the truth, making this book a powerful and necessary reminder of the voices that institutions tried to silence.”—Meg Applegate, CEO of Unsilenced and author of Becoming UNSILENCED: Surviving and Fighting the Troubled Teen Industry
