The Parasite — EPUB + Audiobook

A brilliant young physiologist believes he can resist a mesmerist’s influence. He is dangerously wrong.

Professor Austin Gilroy approaches the occult with a scientist’s confidence—until the strange Miss Penclosa turns his own mind against him. Told through Gilroy’s increasingly desperate diary, The Parasite is Arthur Conan Doyle at his darkest: a swift psychological tale of hypnosis, obsession, jealousy, and the frightening loss of free will.
