Patrick Mcgrath

The Asylum (1996) by Patrick McGrath is a gothic psychological thriller, narrated by Dr. Peter Cleave, a psychiatrist at a maximum security mental institution in England in the 1950s. Dive into the darkness of passion that breaks down all walls...

In an idyllic English asylum for the mentally ill, where the psyche meets secrets, lives Stella Raphael - a woman trapped in the monotony of marriage and motherhood. But the summer of the 1950s brings a storm: an encounter with Edgar Stark, a charismatic sculptor convicted of murder out of jealousy. His artistic fire and forbidden attraction ignite a fire that Stella cannot extinguish.

In this gothic web of obsession and madness, Patrick McGrath, master of psychological thrillers, guides you through a labyrinth of lust, betrayal and destruction. Through the eyes of a manipulative psychiatrist, discover how one passionate love can shatter lives, expose the darkest desires and reshape the boundaries between love and obsession.

If you loved Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca or Stephen King's Misery, this story will captivate you - intense, erotic and deeply disturbing. Perfect for lovers of gothic mysteries and psychological depths.
