You won’t find here a description of buildings that housed madmen, but rather nuances and anecdotes of the insane and the sane who inhabited them
The protagonist from the two previous books (on cemeteries and prisons) writes letters to the author during the pandemic, each discussing a different insane asylum. The accounts are full of anecdotes, some quite unsettling and others more accessible, with a mix of humorous and always surprising tales. The narrative doesn’t dwell on the morbid but rather engages the reader’s curiosity without causing undue distress. At the end of each chapter, a movie and a song related to the discussed asylum are recommended. As a finale, there’s a quote from well-known figures.
