From the introduction: Fifty years ago, a fire tore through the Asylum, killing many. But there is some horror that cannot be killed by fire. The Cradle experienced so much of this horror in the century before the fire that it has taken on form in our world – objects re‐arrange themselves, spirits are trapped here, and The Grey Lady lurks in the surgery ward. The inner ward contained the most violent and insane individuals – and the most violent and insane "doctors". Today, the inmates roam the halls, darkly twisted forms of what they once were.
