About this listen

In 1859, the Shawtuck Lunatic Asylum opened in rural Delaware County as the new standard for the treatment of the mentally ill. But now this huge, Gothic structure sits brooding and abandoned, brought down by a long, sordid history of depravity, mistreatment, and murder. It may be rotting up on Shawtuck Mountain, but it's not alone.

Oswald "Oz" Patterson is the new sheriff of Delaware County. After a near-death experience as a cop in the South Bronx, he decided to move away from the inner city and live a safer life. But Oz will find that he has only traded one nightmare for an even worse one.

Thank you Skyler and Richard for my complementary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was such an intriguing story! I absolutely loved all the historical facts throughout, the creepiness and atmospheric feel 😍 I really like Oz's character too 🥰

It was disturbing and at times made my stomach turn 😅 What people went through in these types of institutes was horrendous 🥺

It was a really enjoyable creepy read perfect for the spooky season 🙌

Skyler's narration as usual was brilliant and creepy at times which fits this story perfectly 😂

Perfect for the Spooky Season

I found this very much like a documentary until part way through. Storyline was good once it got going.
