Dr. Parker H is a compassionate, idealistic but overconfident new psychiatrist at a mental asylum in the early 2000s. In 2008, he chronicles his time there in a series of online posts on a public forum, specifically his experience in trying to cure an “incurable” and apparently very dangerous patient who has been there for decades since he was 6 years old. This particular patient has indirectly caused multiple suicides in other patients, staff & several psychiatrists. The ones who survive are severely traumatized or driven into insanity. This patient is able to elicit their inner most fears and his symptoms and abilities seem to evolve & get stronger over time. Will Dr. Parker be able to resist the manipulation of a psychopath or is there something much sinister going on?
This horror book is really creepy and quite difficult to put it down. It is unclear what the ending meant and makes me wonder if there will be a sequel.
