A strange and unsettling account of Mary Todd Lincolns descent into madness. She is haunted by one of the nineteen Dakota men that were executed by her husband years prior. I really enjoyed the graphic depictions of the haunting and thought it was interesting because it was a play in verse. A quick read with a lot of depth and social commentary.
