From award winning author Jon Bassoff, The Incurables is a tight-paced and twisted horror
The year is 1953.
Disgraced and forced out of the psychiatric hospital where he'd practiced for nearly thirty years, Dr. Walter Freeman has taken to traversing the country and proselyting about a very new kind of the transorbital lobotomy. With an ice pick and a hammer, Freeman promises to cure depression and catatonia, delusions and psychosis, with a procedure as simple and safe as curing a toothache.
When he enters the backwater Oklahoma town of Burnwood, however, his own sanity will be tested.
Around him swirls a degenerate and delusional cast of characters--a preacher who believes his son to be the Messiah, a demented and violent young prostitute, and a trio of machete-wielding brothers--all weaved into a grotesque narrative that reveals how blind faith in anything can lead to destruction.
