In the late 1970s, the Emerson Rose Asylum was abruptly abandoned—patients, doctors, and staff vanished without a trace. Their disappearance remains one of history’s most chilling mysteries. Until now.

A bundle of letters was discovered hidden inside a tattered mattress during the asylum's demolition. Addressed to the enigmatic "Dr. Quill," these letters were written by the patients themselves, documenting the institution’s eerie decline. While they share their tragic pasts, their words hint at something far more sinister lurking beyond their doors.

Haunting yet deeply human, these letters reveal desperation, resilience, and a chilling plan for escape. Though the names have been changed, the stories remain untouched—their suffering, their secrets, and their fight for freedom.

Their journey will become your journey as you unravel the final days of Emerson Rose Asylum in Letters from the Looney Bin.
