I am Miss Georgina Ferrars, of Gresham's Yard, London. I am. I swear that I am. And I shall prove it.

A young woman wakes in a strange bed.

A sickly light filters through a metal grille.

Doctor Maynard Straker steps into the room, and speaks.

'Have no fear, Miss Ashton. I am entirely at your service.'

This, however, is not her name.

And she should not be here - in the Asylum.

She is Miss Georgina Ferrars, and she can prove it.

But when Dr Straker sends a telegram to her uncle in London, the reply is swift-

GEORGINA FERRARS HERE STOP

YOUR PATIENT MUST BE IMPOSTER STOP

Madness? Mistaken identity? Or are there more malevolent forces at work?

Reviews for The Asylum

A twisting tale of greed, deceit and betrayal * Daily Telegraph * Readers are guaranteed a thoroughly diverting time in Harwood's not-to-be-trusted hands... A dizzying dance...we love every minute of it -- Barry Forshaw * Independent * Harwood has a talent amounting to genius for channeling the spirit of 19th-century sensation fiction -- Andrew Taylor * Spectator * Deliciously spooky * New York Times Book Review * Harwood, master of creeping Victorian horror, does it again in his latest tale of pervasive evil and madness * Booklist *
