Super engrossing horror novel, and a quick read. It was the sort of story that sat in my head for a while after I finished it. I don't really get creeped out with media that's just writing. Like, the only time I can remember feeling some kind of genuine unease while reading something was with that well-known spelunking creepypasta......

"The Patient" wasn't as quite so effective as that, but it engrossed me to the point where I started to feel just a bit unsettled. A big part has to do with the format, I think. The forum posts did it for me. Even though it's obviously fiction, it presents itself as something that could have been real, and it's likely there's something like this book on the internet already, either as a ~creepypasta~ or as someone bullshitting on a forum.

Was satisfied with the ending, because it fit perfectly with the epistolary format.
