Hi everybody! I am hoping ya'll could help me find some books about insane asylums. I'm looking for non-fiction books that are memoirs from a staff member, or written from someone who visited an asylum that has a reputation for being haunted. I'd also consider books that depict some of the misfortunate treatment that patients received.

Thanks so much for responding!!!

Hi Deirdre,

So ... this is a weird forum for your question. This one is for paranormal fiction (ghosts, vampires, werewolves, etc). I think that might be why no one has posted a reply yet.

A better place for your question might be in the "Hidden Gems" forum, or perhaps even "Club Member Thoughts". In the first one, you will be reaching more people who might be familiar with books of they type you want, in the second one, you will be reaching pretty much everyone who reads the forums.

And, I can't help with your actual question either .... sorry!

Yeah i agree. I'd be curious to hear some suggestions for this too though. It sounds very intriguing!
