Welcome to Litsy!

This book is told entirely from the point of view of a man with schizophrenia, living in a group home in London. It‘s very well-written and eerie. Spider starts dissociating from reality around age 13 and becomes convinced that his mother has died. We learn how he deals with that and why he‘s been in a psych hospital for 20 years. I highly recommend this novel if you enjoy Gothic tales. Five stars.

What can make a Friday even better? Mail from @LibrarianRyan . I love the book marks ( but I will be hanging the spider in my kitchen). Thank you so much! #monstermadness2017

#90'sinJuly no one writes better about people #insaneinthebrain than Patrick McGrath. Asylum is actually my favourite but not pictured as someone borrowed it. Spider is great too
