We Are Monsters by Brian Kirk
3.0
Dr. Alex Drexler is working on a miracle treatment. The psychiatrist believes that with enough time and resources, he can cure acute mental illness with the new drug he's developing, using a simple injection into the pineal gland. Very lobotomy-like. *shudders* Unfortunately, his latest test subject isn't showing the results he was looking for and his contact at the pharmaceutical company is pulling his funding. Fortunately, as a doctor at a mental health facility, he knows where he can find other guinea pigs for his experiments. However when he ups that dosage and uses it on a patient very close to him, the results are...odd.
The title is quite accurate - the characters ARE all monsters and thanks to the good doctor, they might be able to lay to rest their own demons.
I have an affinity of mental health hospitals, so this appealed to me. I feel like the story started off slowly, by once the shit hit the fan, I ran through the rest of the book. This is the second book I've read by the author, and this one was much better.
