The Redemption of Morgan Bright: A Novel by Chris Panatier
A woman checks herself into an insane asylum to solve the mystery of her sister’s murder, only to lose her memory and maybe her mind. From the subversive voice behind The Phlebotomist comes a story that combines the uncanny atmosphere of Don’t Worry Darling with the narrative twists of The Last House on Needless Street.
“Chris Panatier is a literary lepidopterist who goes-for-baroque with his gothic shocker The Redemption of Morgan Bright, metamorphosing a mindf**k of a novel that’s equal parts Shock Corridor and Midsommar. You don’t read this book as much as let it cocoon you, consume you, rearrange and change you from the inside out, and when it’s done—with you—what emerges from its radiant pages is an altogether altered reader. What a beautiful butterfly of a book this is.”—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
