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

2.0

'New Gothic'. I'm a fan of old Gothic, and found these books attractive: always liked that Friedrich picture, and he's said to be at the literary end of grotesque. "With artistry and profound understanding of the frontiers of human experience..." --that's the sort of description to draw me in, but I found these (two of his) flat and empty, whether in Gothic exploration, psychology or style.
