Synopsis: It is 1896, New York City, and young boys are being horrifically murdered and mutilated. And the only word I can think of to describe this book is…intricate. I loved the drama so much I immediately ordered the book it is based on from my local library. I watched the ten-episode series at the beginning of this month as part of my immersion into everything terrifying for Spooktober. Instead, it is a historical mystery about a psychologist, known at the time as an “alienist.” I was introduced to this book through its TV series adaptation released early in 2018, starring Luke Evans, Dakota Fanning, and Daniel Bruhl. ![]() ![]() No, this is not a book about aliens, as the title might make you surmise. ![]()
