Inside the Mind of Madness: The best stories in history illustrating a characters descent into madness

Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Leo Tolstoy, Dan Ariely and 6 more

Narrated by Richard Mitchley, Bill Wallis and Vincent Marzello

To have logic, to reason things out, to have a sense of what is and isn’t and what can and can’t is one of the traits we identify with being human.

Sad to say that sometimes there are some amongst us who lose touch with this function, are unable to bring order and control to their world. That is not only a tragedy for themselves but can also have horrific consequences on those around them.

Our wordsmiths in this volume, including Leo Tolstoy, Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and others explore and exploit their stories and characters in a quest to share and shape our view and experience of what it may be like inside the Mind of Madness.
