Description
ST. JOHNLAND HOSPITAL, this place bristles with a sense of lost hope...
For more than a century, these dormitories, fields, hospitals, and laboratories housed the distraught, the afflicted, the dangerous, troubled, and unwanted-and, far too often, those powerless to speak out against a world that rejected them. Although its doors closed decades ago, its story didn't end there.
The buildings still stand, decrepit and dark. Quiet trails still crisscross its wooded grounds. New things have taken up residence there. The forgotten and lost still cling to this place. Their voices whisper from the shadows or scream from the darkness.
In this anthology, nineteen authors and poets explore the abandoned grounds of St. Johnland Hospital to unearth its demons and devils, its forgotten experiments, its ghosts and spirits, and the secrets that yet reside in this place that bends time and memory beyond the everyday world.

Advance Praise
“This anthology is framed as a found document consisting of troubling reports …The unsettling mixture of truth and fiction will captivate readers… —BOOKLIST
"The selections span a century of the hospital’s history, and Chambers amplifies their eeriness with photographs of the decrepit grounds, crumbling buildings, and discarded medical artifacts. Horror fans in search of a shared-world experience will love this."—Publishers Weekly
