3 ⭐'s. Not bad but not the best asylum book I've read.
I thought this would be right up my alley - a creepy old mental asylum with strange experiments and maybe a ghost or 2. My favorite type of dark, gothic chill. And to a small degree, it was that. The writing was good and some of the scenes were delightfully unsettling. But I was left feeling very dissatisfied. It wasn't a cohesive novel, but more like a series of short stories held together by the common threads of location and Nurse Winters.
