<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the underground tunnels below Northville Psychiatric Hospital, the mood swings of the mentally ill are manipulated, transforming them into manic, savage beasts who seek justice by the light of the full moon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Kori Persephone Driscoe suffered through her dad's mental illness. All she wanted was for him to get better, but instead he disappeared. Kori trespasses into the abandoned Northville Psychiatric Hospital, the last place her dad was treated, seeking solace and traces of his memory. What she finds instead is something no longer human living deep in the underground tunnels. </p><p>During the last days of the hospital, a rogue psychiatrist had been manipulating the mood swings of the mentally ill, transforming patients into savage, manic creatures who seek justice by the light of the full moon. When the creatures hunt for prey, only an escaped patient and her beloved child can help Kori survive. But they better act fast, because the creatures want blood, Kori wants to save her dad, and the whole hospital is about to be blown to pieces and bury Kori alive. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A wickedly clever take on a well-worn trope, The Hobgoblin of Little Minds explores lycanthropy through the lens of mental illness and shows Matthews at the height of his powers as a cartographer of the many shades of darkness that inhabit human minds. This bleak, Odyssean, and impeccably well-wrought fable proves what many of us have known for quite some time: Mark Matthews is the reigning king of modern psychological horror."</p><p> KEALAN PATRICK BURKE, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin </em>and Sour Candy </em></p><p><br></p><p>"Matthews delivers a shocking new asylum mythos. At Northville Psychiatric Hospital, longstanding literary horrors of tunnels, malign treatments, and twisted minds receive new Frankensteinian life, patched together into a frightful blend of existential dread and family entanglements."</p><p> TROY RONDINONE, PhD, author of <em>Nightmare Factories: The Asylum in the American Imagination</em></p><p> </p><p>"A stunningly daring descent into madness. Dank, dark and scary as hell. Brimming with tragic characters and monstrous villains--think Nurse Ratched by way of Dr. Moreau under the direction of Cronenberg. Proves once and for all that reality is often the strongest fuel for the nightmares burning bright. This one is a belter. An absolute beast!"</p><p> JOHN BODEN, author of <em>Spungunion</em> and <em>Walk the Darkness Down</em> </p><p> </p><p>"Matthews twists pioneering ideas from epigenetics and neuroscience into a classic horror tale, producing a nightmarish adventure that breathes new life into the werewolf legend."</p><p> BILL SULLIVAN, Ph.D, Professor of Pharmacology at Indiana University, Author of Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs, and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are</em> </p><p><br></p><p>"As a new take on the werewolf story, it is a fascinating read, but as a deep dive into the realities of mental illness, the book is an absolute triumph."</p><p> IndieMuse.com </p><br>
