The Reformatory

The book blends unsettling horror with real historical issues, and I wonder how the author decided where to draw that line to maintain impact without trivializing the trauma.

The depth of the characters' pain felt so real that I couldn't help but feel invested — am I alone in feeling this intense emotional weight?

The atmosphere is so vividly crafted — I’m curious whether the author drew from specific real-life institutions or created this world entirely from imagination.
