THE INSTITUTE: A DARK ANTHOLOGY: Release Blitz & ARC Review

The Institute by Dani René
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a review for Hostile Illsusions by India R. Adams. 

"My torture feeds their needs.
My suffering is their natural high.
My misery is the outlet for their sadistic ways.
My despair… Their ecstasy."

Part of The Institute: A Dark Anthology, Hostile Illusions will take you into the Serenity Institute, where Dr Landon is the therapist of a young woman who suffers from amnesia.

I can't and certainly won't say more as you'll need to read for yourself and experience the India R. Adams beautiful writing. 

Heart-wrenching, that short tale is not for the faint of heart. I cringed at the atrocities Lacey was subjected too. The striking realism of the scenes had my stomach in knots and my throat on fire from screaming. How not to feel the despair, the hopelessness of that girl? And then, then, in true India magical fashion, you find a spark of good, a bright little light in all that darkness. You cling to it, you want to believe that everything and anything is possible in all that unfairness and gory. I sought solace, reprieve. I let the poetic words draw, capsize and sink me into that viscerally gripping atmosphere of damaged souls....and I ended in tears.

"Wounded souls and hearts with holes
May you forever be
Lovers of the night, willing to fight
May you forever… be"

Serenity is an illusion

Dear Reader, 

I trust this letter finds you well. 

It is with the utmost concern that we invite you to join us at the infamous Serenity Institute. You’ll be able to observe the goings on of the asylum, meet the patients and the doctors. We do however ask that you please be quiet. Do not interact with the patients, and respect the special treatments our doctors administer. 

This is where nightmares come alive.

A home for the shattered psyche of its patients. 

Hope is lost when they cross the threshold. 

The deranged. The demented. The unstable. 

Six stories, six authors, non-stop madness. 

Kind regards,

The Authors

Dani René, Anna Edwards, Murphy Wallace, India R. Adams, Jennifer Bene, Sian Claven
