"The Apocalypse has come to the Sugar Hill mental asylum. He's the hospital's newest, and most notorious, patient -- a paranoid schizophrenic who sees humanity's dark side. Luckily he's in good hands. Dr. Eli Alpert has a talent for healing tortured souls. And his protégé is working on a cure for schizophrenia, a drug that returns patients to their former selves. But unforeseen side effects are starting to emerge. Forcing prior traumas to the surface. Setting inner demons free. Monsters have been unleashed inside the Sugar Hill mental asylum. They don't have fangs or claws. They look just like you or me."--Back cover.
The way it’s sold in the blurb, I thought this was going to be a classic “patients in charge of the asylum” Grand Guignol story. It was not. There was promise in the first half, though none of the characters were very likable. The second half, and especially the last act, was scattered and uneven, and I lost interest. I finished it, but it’s not going to stick with me.
