📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A grim diary exploring psychological horror within a psychiatric hospital setting.

This book is more about deep fear than a normal scare story. Hatfield builds a tight space where nothing feels certain. The focus stays on how the patient feels inside, not what happens outside. No clear answers are given; instead, the confusion grows. You have to deal with uncertainty just like the narrator does. It fits with old stories about being alone and losing your mind. There is no relief or end to the problem. The feeling of dread never stops until the last page.
