![]() As the doctor’s investigation progresses, we delve deeper into Elsie’s memories leading up to the tragic night that left several people dead and a grand house in ruins. Elsie doesn’t think the doctor will believe her frightening, supernatural story, and she certainly doesn’t want to recount it, but telling the tale seems like her best option. There are only a few ways this new inquest can turn out- in a death sentence for the crime that Elsie might have committed, in a transfer to a more permanent asylum, or in her release from suspicion and medical observation. He reminds her that she arrived at the hospital under questionable circumstances, and announces that the police are asking him to help clear up the mystery of what happened that day. In the novel, Elsie is visited by a new doctor in the mental hospital where she’s been living for several months. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It would’ve been ideal to get around to all of my horror reviews before the end of October, but I want to incorporate more horror into my regular reading anyway, so I suppose reviewing out of season is a good warm-up!
