An audio book presented as blog posts with only the names changed.
Set in the US. Parker the narrator has a partner Jocelyn. His mother had mental problems. He has an Ivy League degree. He gets a job in an asylum. Joe has been there since 1973 when he was 6. He's in his 20s now. The narrator decides to cure him. People discourage him - previous doctors who treated him (Including Dr G, the narrator's boss) have had problem. A nurse, Nessie, who's known him from the start, has recently killed herself. After interviewing Jo the narrator believes that Joe is a victim of the system - a cashcow, a scapegoat who's been given bad doctors on purpose. He thinks that Nessie knew this and killed herself with guilt. He tries to help Jo escape but his plan is foiled - because Jo spills the beans.
His boss and Dr A, the first doctor who dealt with Jo, fill Parker in on the case. They'd even tried exorcism. He visits Jo's widowed, rich mother and finds a child's corpse behind the wall. He deduces that the thing in the asylum wasn't human. It escapes. Jo's mother kills herself. Dr A is killed. Parker starts up a private practice to treat children who are possessed.
