The Spirit of Antoinette
A Gothic Horror Story
Michael Ramseur describes THE SPIRIT OF ANTOINETTE as "a Gothic horror story," but the truly frightening aspects are not the spirits which haunt the State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, but the depictions of both the modern and the antiquated mental health industries. Psychiatric institutions of the 1920s and the 1980s are disturbingly similar. Though treatment methods may have changed, both are overtaxed and unable to care for those in their charge, despite their best efforts and desires. Ramseur draws on careful research, personal experience, and perhaps his own madness. The line between fiction and history is thin here, which may be this book's most chilling quality.
