I loved this book because I enjoy dark and twisted shit. Unfortunately it‘s a true story. A short read, this was originally a series of articles that were later compiled into a book. Nellie Bly tells about her experience inside of Blackwell Island‘s Insane asylum and the gross mistreatment and abuse inflicted upon the patients by the nurses and staff.
