Asylum | 
pickThis book must have ended up on my massive TBR thanks to Litsy. Asylum is a rather dark story set in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane in 1959. A setting right up my alley! Stella and her husband, Max, move onto the reservation of the asylum. Max is a psychiatrist. Stella meets Edgar, a patient, and is not deterred from interacting with him when she learns of his violent past.

My #TBR for #scarathlon2020 I have some other spooky reads on my shelf but trying to be realistic with my goals 😂 I‘ll also plan to finish ‘Troubled Blood‘ 🩸 Go #TeamSlaughter !!! 26 points
Starting off today with some New Castle After Dark horror flicks.
Asylum, from 1972. With Peter Cushing, Britt Ekland and Charlotte Rampling.
A young psychiatrist applies for a job at a mental asylum but first must pass a test by interviewing four patients to try to figure out which one is the doctor he will be replacing.

pickUn libro da scoprire.
Ve ne parlo sul blog oggi, anche se è difficile spiegare come riesca a catturare il lettore questa storia così particolare e difficile da dimenticare. Un romanzo di amore, passione, responsabilità,...di follia!

Una lettura semplicemente stupenda, dal ritmo un po' lento ma che riesce ad incollati alle pagine.
Amore che diventa un ossessione, un dolore che scava e distrugge nel profondo,...

pickI knew I had to listen to this one when I saw Ian McKellen was reading it. It was a really good book! I loved who the narrator was because he wasn‘t really a main character. It was cool to hear the story told through an outsider. In the end it was a sad story, but the twists and turns were unpredictable and I really enjoyed it.
pickSubtle, unsettling and creepingly brilliant. Stella and Edgar‘s dynamic was fascinating and raw, but what made Asylum especially powerful was the narrative voice. As narrator‘s go, Peter Cleave (who is fantastically well-named) stands out as testament to McGrath‘s brilliance, especially where characterization is concerned.
pickFinished this last night and not only was this a #rainydayread it matches the atmosphere of rainy days for much of the book. This story drew me in, moving faster than expected and kept me guessing as to what the final outcome would be. It challenges one's empathy and the notion of patient and doctor, who treats whom, who is "sick"," what is "well," and how do we get from one to the other.

Read next month's book club pick or reread an old favorite? That is the question.
This is a story of love, of madness and obsession. The ending is forever etched into my brain. This book is haunting. And I think it's a very good example of #taintedlove #junetunz
pickI enjoyed this book. It's one of those reads I want to pass on to someone but I can't quite decide who because it certainly wouldn't work for everyone 🤔
# booktober recommendations 📚👍🏼 Asylum is not pictured as it has mysteriously vanished from my bookcase.... my sister no doubt. I've read these 4 and a few others, also missing! All great stories particularly for October if you're looking great creepy tales. Particularly Spider and Dr Haggards Disease 📚🎃👻☠️📚❤️
pickWhen I was in graduate school, I became obsessed with Patrick McGrath and this novel in particular. This story is set in an insane asylum and features a doctor and his wife. Because of this book, insane asylums are now one of my favorite settings. I couldn't love this book more. So this is my #recommensday for the week. It's also a good cold weather read for a very late #fridayfunphoto entry for last week. #betterlatethannever
One of my library books. Really looking forward to read it as it has been on my TBR for a while. Back home I have seen the stamps and that the book has been borrowed for the first time nearly 20 years ago. I think this has been the oldest copy of a book so far I got from the library.
