The Deadly Percheron — John Franklin Bardin

A classic, chilling tale of mystery and psychological horror that “will hold your attention to the last” (The New York Times).   When a young, blond, handsome man walks into a psychiatrist’s office, stating that he believes he is losing his mind and asking questions about hallucinations, the doctor is prepared to help his new patient overcome his delusions.   But as this twisting tale progresses, the line between what is real and unreal begins to blur—and the story becomes not only a murder mystery but a dark, unsettling voyage into memory, madness, torture, and despair.
