35. The Brattleboro Retreat

In the picturesque woods of Vermont, there is a very tall tower with a very low wall, and the only potential problem with it is that it lives on the grounds of a 200-year-old mental institution, which, we have to say, was an extremely bold choice.This is the story of The Brattleboro Retreat. Come for the ghosts, stay for the body paint apologies, genteel terms of art for electroshock therapy, many, many fires, WOMAN SEES DEER TWICE!, and Patrick's callous opinions on life and death.
