“3.5/5.0* WE ARE MONSTERS - Just how I like my Horror served - Dark with a whole lot of Creepy. Things, shall we say, go a bit awry at Sugar Hill, the oldest mental health facility in Georgia - once known for its sterling record for patient recovery under the care of Dr. Eli Alpert, erupts into chaos when a troubled psychiatrist begins testing an experimental cure for schizophrenia on the asylums criminally insane. 'Some doctors are sicker than their patients.' WE ARE MONSTERS is the first book that I’ve read by Brian Kirk, and though this novel had a stellar beginning and middle, the imagery Kirk creates throughout is perfect; the latter part of the book felt a bit clunky in places and rushed at the end - that ending, though, My Heart! Kirk’s WILL HAUNT YOU has been on my radar and to-be-read list for some time, and I can’t wait to read it! Thank you, NetGalley and Flame Tree Press, for loaning me an advance eBook of WE ARE MONSTERS in exchange for an honest review.”
