A review by ks_reads_stat
Dr. Haggard's Disease by Patrick McGrath

5.0

A goddamn perfect book that was written for me specifically. A book I wanted to read my entire life. Inhaled every word and tried to postpone finishing it as much as possible. Nothing describes McGrath’s neo-gothic writing as succinctly as “intelligently perverse with an intense demand on our attention”, with all his academic flaunting and precise vivisection of human psyche and its dark deep horrors of obsessive love.
