Playing catch up on #OctoberXFiles . I had a little trouble finding something for #MisterAsylum , then discovered this on my shelf. A tad bit of a stretch, but a look at a woman‘s descent into madness certainly looks at mental health. Plus, it‘s a classic.
On my Kindle TBR. Anyone read this one? Thoughts?

While this is more a case of Miss Asylum than #MisterAsylum, it still works for today‘s prompt 👍

I‘ve been dying to read this memoir based on 12 patients at Bellevue Hospital (insane asylum) for so long. So many books so little time!!!

This was an unfamiliar song, so I pulled up the lyrics (yay Google!). When I read the second verse, this book popped right into my mind. It‘s a memoir written by a man afflicted with a type of stroke called “locked-in syndrome.” He dictated the book by blinking his left eyelid. Not a long book, it‘s a five-star gut punch. Worth an afternoon, especially if you know anyone who‘s been through any type of brain injury.

One of my favorite Poe stories. 🖤 Our narrator is quickly driven mad by the fear and guilt he experienced after killing an old man.
If you have a favorite Poe story or poem, please share!

The first thing that came to mind was this book. BTW, it‘s part of a 2 for 1 audiobook sale currently running on audible!!!
Both of these characters should go in an #asylum. (Closest I could get today!) #misterasylum #OctoberXFiles @Cinfhen @Robothugs
