Acerca de Séance in the Asylum:
1865. La Guerra Civil finalmente llega a su agotador final. Los soldados que regresan del frente vuelven a casa destrozados, con la mente destrozada. Una afluencia de pacientes abruma el Hospital Ashcroft, un asilo en el norte del estado de Nueva York. El Dr. John James Templeton está ocupado desarrollando una nueva teoría radical: el espiritismo (el acto de comunicarse con los muertos) es una forma de terapia en sí misma. ¿Qué mejor manera de sacar a la luz estas enfermedades mentales que con un poco de ayuda del otro lado? Templeton recluta a Alicia Wilkinson, una médium que se estableció como un conducto muy solicitado capaz de contactar con los muertos cuando era niña.
Estas sesiones de espiritismo se convierten en una forma innovadora de "terapia espectral", donde se permite a los pacientes conversar con sus enfermedades, tal vez expurgarlas. Al llegar más allá del velo de nuestro mundo, estos espíritus ayudan a sacar a la luz la enfermedad del paciente. Pero algo está cambiando en los pacientes. Están actuando de manera diferente... tal vez poseídos. El experimento de Templeton es un éxito. Demasiado exitoso. Depende de Alicia entender qué les está pasando a los pacientes de Ashcroft… antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

About Séance in the Asylum:
1865. The Civil War finally reaches its grueling end. Soldiers returning from the frontline come home broken, their minds shattered. An influx of patients overwhelms The Ashcroft Hospital, an asylum in upstate New York. Dr. John James Templeton is busy developing a radical new theory: spiritualism—the act of communicating with the dead—is its own form of therapy. What better way to draw out these mental maladies
than with a little assistance from the other side? Templeton enlists Alicia Wilkinson, a medium who established herself as a sought-after conduit capable of contacting the dead as a young girl. These séance sessions become a cutting-edge form of “spectral therapy,” where patients are permitted to converse with, perhaps expunge, their maladies. By reaching out beyond the veil of our world, these spirits aid in drawing out the illness of the patient. But something is changing in the patients. They are acting different…possessed, perhaps. Templeton’s experiment is a success. Too successful. It is up to Alicia to understand what is happening to the patients of Ashcroft…before it’s too late. Séance in the Asylum (paperback, 96 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”) will be available in bookstores on June 3, 2025 and in comic shops on June 4, 2025. It is now available to preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Things From Another World, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99.
