Island of the Mad

The narrative feels deeply immersive—I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to delve into Holmes's mind or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The atmosphere really captures the chaos of the mind, but I wonder if the portrayal aligns with historical understandings of mental health at the time.

The isolated environment adds so much to the suspense and themes of madness. I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or purely fictional.
