Review: Life in the Victorian Asylum: The World of Nineteenth Century Mental Health Care

Life in the Victorian Asylum: The World of Nineteenth Century Mental Health Care by Mark Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is about the history of Victorian Asylums I found the book to be well-written, well-researched, and very engaging.

I also found it to be a very readable,with a interesting layout part one is written as a patients handbook with a Victorian tone and perspective while part two is the patient's experience as seen with a 21st century perspective.

As lover of history books I would definitely recommend this book to anybody with an interesting history.

I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Review: Nightmare Asylum & Other Deadly Delights

Nightmare Asylum & Other Deadly Delights by Sonia Kilvington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nightmare Asylum and other Deadly Delights is a book of eighteen short stories all based around psychological thrillers and horror.

The book had me gripped from the very first page to the very last page with its twist and turns it left me in suspense to the very end. Unlike some books that abruptly end with no explanation this book was enjoyble and easy to follow. I found all stories interesting and my attention was held all throughout the book.

I recommend not just the book but also the author.
