The Monster Inside Of My Bed

The Monster Inside Of My Bed

Who has a right to judge what is normal?

For 18 year old Maria Valentino it was her parents, it was her friends and it was the doctors who decided that she was no longer stable for the outside world. No one questioned that the man who put her in a mental institution for eight months was in fact a violent drunk, because unlike Maria people thought he was normal.

No one questioned that her friends bullied their classmates on a daily basis to stay at the top of the social ladder, because that was normal.

The only time people started asking questions was when Maria finally snapped.

Then, she meets Mason Riley. Charming, handsome and confident. He was like a slap back to reality, and for the first time in years Maria finally felt like she was back in normality.

The only problem was that she met Mason when she was admitted to The Ledge Mental Institution. He had been bouncing from hospital to hospital since he was 12 years old, somewhere along the way the doctors branded him a Sociopath. That would explain the charm, his exceptional knack at manipulation and the remorse that he lacks to feel.

Yet, even with all of that Maria finds herself believing that Mason might actually be one of the most normal aspects of her life, because after all sanity is best judged by those who lack it.

That’s what he keeps telling her, and she almost started to believe him.

Almost.

When I read the title of this story I laughed. It's an awesome title and it matches the story because this is an awesome story as well. Well, I have this passion for mental institutions and psychopaths and sociopaths so when I started reading this I was like "Yes, this is what I've been looking for for a long time!" I love how the author uses words. When I read a book, I like to feel what the character is feeling (yes, I know it's weird) but most of the time that doesn't work because the author doesn't know how to use words. In this book, I can feel what the characters are feeling. (It's really hard to explain and it probably sounds weird but it's true!)

So this has nothing to do with this book but...HAVE YOU NOTICED THE AUTHOR'S BACKGROUND? IT'S AN AMERICAN HORROR STORY COLLAGE! I'm sorry, I just love AHS :D
