Publisher's summary

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

What would guilt make you do?

Hadleigh Keene died on the road leading away from Hollyhock Asylum. The reasons are unknown. Her sister Morgan blames herself. A year later with the case still unsolved, Morgan creates a false identity, that of a troubled housewife named Charlotte Turner, and goes inside.

Morgan quickly discovers that Hollyhock is… not right. She is shaken by the hospital’s peculiar routines and is soon beset by strange episodes. All the while, the persona of Charlotte takes on a life of its own, becoming stronger with each passing day. As her identity begins unraveling, Morgan finds herself tracing Hadleigh’s footsteps and peering into the places they lead.

The terrifying reality of The Redemption of Morgan Bright unfolds over the course of chapters told from the points of view of both Charlotte and Morgan, police interviews, and text messages.

This book is freaking AF and I’m going to have nightmares.

I listened and read the book in tandem which made it easier to follow along, but also provided a sort of immersive ghost story feel to the whole thing. It’s gorey, horror filled, and chilling. However what might just be the scariest parts were the pieces taken from reality.
The whole premise was built on the idea of revoking women’s rights to control their bodies, their lives, and their marriage. Infusing the gore filled paranormal elements evoked gruesome imagery that highlighted those issues.
I’m also pretty obsessed with the way the author told this story. It was a trippy and utterly brilliant mix of information from police reports, text messages, and illustrations, to wild scenes in first person POV with an unreliable narrator to third person POV conversations. Each piece that was revealed was creepier than the last. I just knew that I needed more and I couldn’t stop reading. I don’t read a lot of thrillers but this had me completely turned around while trying to figure it all out.
