First off, I am glad that this book was a novella because it is definitely a read in one sitting story. Otherwise it will drive you crazy with wanting to figure out the whys. It takes place mostly in an asylum and is about a young doctor, Parker, who takes on a patient only know by a short name "Joe" that has been there since childhood and has defied explanation for years in how he drives other doctors and orderlies to madness and suicide.
This is creepy and mind twisting and did not turn out how I was expecting. For a novella, it is pretty good and wraps things up in the pages allotted without feeling like the story should have been longer though it did leave a couple plot holes.
If you read this, be prepared to be thinking about it for awhile after.
