Sanatorium, mental ward, psychiatric hospital - they’re all the same. Places where the infirm, the crazy, and the certifiable go for treatment... Or what passes for ‘treatment’.

This is a collection of stories of bedlam taking place within the padded walls of an institution. Stories of experiments gone wrong, patients revolting against the staff, or even the deranged doings of those charged with giving care. They are sick, depraved, and atrocious - the type of stories that rarely reach the light of day.

Are you brave enough to crawl inside the minds of the thirteen authors who wrote these tales... Or are you afraid you’ll be locked up for peeking?

Featuring the talents of:
Delphine Boswell, Alex Chase, Sean Conway, Megan Dorei, A.A. Garrison, Tom Howard, Russell Linton, Suzie Lockhart and Bruce Lockhart 2nd, Jennifer Loring, Sergio Palumbo, Joseph A. Pinto, and D.M. Smith

*This book is a collection of similarly themed yet varying fictitious short stories from multiple authors.

My name is Alex Chase. I have loved books since I was very young. I was drawn by some undeniable force to the horror genre and from the day I picked up my first Stephen King novel, I was hooked. I knew that I would one day publish works of my own.
Though I typically write horror, readers can expect to find me writing in a wide variety of genres. I have utilized horror when writing Gothic, Noir, Crime, Suspense and Fantasy. In all situations, I tend to incorporate a psychological twist to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.
So far, I have contracted 11 short stories and have one novel out for consideration- and I have no intention of stopping any time soon.

I liked this book. Nights when I couldn't sleep, I'd read then I couldn't put the book down because it was so interesting. Many years ago insane asylums were as bad as this book portrays. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a glimpse into the past.

Never really got in to any of these stories except one. Unfortunately I thought it was really disappointing and boring.

It was a good grouping of asylum stories from the nutters to the orderlies. All were pretty well written and made for easy reading some were scary and some were straight out of the twilight zone.

When I bought this book I thought it would be true stories from real life experiences in mental asylums and hospitals. It is actually all fictional ! Lots of blood thirsty tales of ill treatment, self harm, suicide and murder all the way through it seems. So not much variety ! Whoever wrote these stories does not know much about real mental asylums or hospitals. It is for horror story enthusiasts I suppose. As I work in the field of NHS mental health in the UK I found this book particularly distasteful.

I read this book when I was doing research on my own (If asylum walls could speak) and was rather disappointed at the poverty of detail. I wouldn’t read it again.
