520    With zombies in vogue and his books coming back onto the 
       market after decades out of print, maybe old Willie 
       Seabrook, the lost king of the weird, can finally get the 
       recognition and infamy he earned. ― Benjamin Welton, 
       Vice.com This dramatic memoir recounts an eight-month stay
       at a Westchester mental hospital in the early 1930s. 
       William Seabrook, a renowned journalist and explorer, 
       voluntarily committed himself to an asylum for treatment 
       of acute alcoholism. His sincere, self-critical appraisal 
       of his experiences offers a highly interesting look at 
       addiction and treatment in the days before Alcoholics 
       Anonymous and other modern programs. "Very few people 
       could be as honest as Seabrook is here," noted The New 
       York Times, "and it is honesty plus the talent Seabrook 
       has already had that makes a book of this sort first-
       rate." This edition of the soul-baring narrative features 
       a new graphic novel–style introduction by Joe Ollmann, who
       also created the cover art.
