Kori Persephone Driscoe suffered through her dad's mental illness. All she wanted was for him to get better, but instead he disappeared. Kori trespasses into the abandoned Northville Psychiatric Hospital, the last place her dad was treated, seeking solace and traces of his memory. What she finds instead is something no longer human living deep in the underground tunnels.During the last days of the hospital, a roque psychiatrist had been manipulating the mood swings of the mentally ill, transforming patients into savage, manic creatures who seek justice by the light of the full moon. When the creatures hunt for prey, only an escaped patient and her beloved child can help Kori survive. The creatures want blood, Kori wants to save her dad, but none may survive, because the whole hospital is about to be blown to pieces and bury Kori alive. No library descriptions found. |

Kori grew up witnessing her father's struggle with mental illness including seeing her father taken away to a psychiatric hospital where he later disappeared. Kori, now grown up, decides to trespass at the hospital where her father was treated to try to find some solace and peace. Northville Psychiatric Hospital is now abandoned but something unhuman lurks in the tunnels beneath the hospital.
At first glance, this is a horror novel but if you dig a bit deeper, you find that it is also an examination of mental illness. The way people who have mental illness are treated, and how it might feel and affect someone who does have a mental illness.
A book is all the more enjoyable when there is a deeper meaning to be found. I found the Afterword by the author to be poignant and informative in turns. Mental illness is so misunderstood by so many people. The correlation between bipolar episodes and folklore combined with biological biology was interesting. I have read about this possible connection before. People also criticize those who stop taking medicine. The author address a possible reason why people might stop taking it. The Hobgoblin of Little Minds turned out to be one of my favourite reads for 2021. ( )
