Great at the sentence level, psychiatry has a messed up backstory, but it wasn't all the gothic horror I wanted.

Wow, I'm so conflicted about this book. It's a beautiful written "Gothic" type novel set in an old British asylum a bit after WW2. It combines some paranormal elements and some "controversial" psychiatric treatments. But the ending wrecked the book for me. What an awful twist, looking back I guess I can see some super vague foreshadowing but I really wish the author had set it up better or chosen a different ending.
3/5 ⭐
