Each of the three tales within this book was a story unique unto itself, all told with a dark theme, but in vastly different ways.
First, there is the "Heretic" who was forced to face the question of what he believes in, even if it costs him his life. Is he willing to sacrifice his life for his deepest beliefs? Or does he give in to what those in power want to hear if it will save him?
The second story is an interesting and dark combination of what would happen if the Nazis were able to regain the same power they had during their rise in the 1940’s and Lord of the Flies. This is an edge of your seat story.
And my favorite, having worked in psychiatric facilities, is the third story: The Psychology of Lady Jane Perkins. This is a clever story of a young man who is a computer student at a university who is in a psychology course for school. He is in class one day and each student is given an assignment specific to them. He must visit a psychiatric facility and interview a patient. Like most people, he has questions and thoughts about what it is like inside a place like that. His imagination is running wild and then he enters the psychiatric wing....What does he think? Who is this patient? What are her secrets? Why was she chosen for him? What happens to the student after the encounter? Without giving too much away, there are twists and turns that keep this story moving.
Great and thought provoking.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
