The Patient by Jasper DeWitt

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

Worth the read if you like horror-thriller genre. Told in the form of online forum threads, this book is about a new psychiatrist at a state asylum in Connecticut who's trying to uncover the truth about the incurable patient "Joe". It was short, a quite fast read. I liked the ambience and vibes, but mind you, this book could be quite disturbing for some people. The ending was okay ... quite underwhelming, but I personally had no problem and think it still made sense to the build-up of Joe's peculiar character.
