Publisher's Synopsis
Folk whose mental equilibrium is temporarily disturbed; those who are plain crazy in latter-day asylums or modern mental hospitals; the mad, the bad and the dangerous who must be locked up for their own safety or that of others - all have a tale to tell. In "Angelus et Diabolus", the battle between a man's id and superego lands him in an asylum; in "The Mad Undead" a tribe of zombies are released into the local town to the consternation of its inhabitants; in "The Spectre of Jayappa Ambardar" the protagonist spends the night in a haunted Indian bungalow and meets its ghost; in "The Unkindest Cuts of All" a cruel warder leaves cut-throat razors lying around for inmates to find... Voices from the past and nowadays relate their experiences of insanity or unreality or both for there is always a question as to whether they have experienced weird occurrences or are merely mad. Whether or not they are is an open question...
