The first five installments are named for relics from the asylum, delivered to carefully selected Blackstone residents by an unknown and unseen presence that lurks in the abandoned building. Unfortunately for the mentally ill of the last century, many of Saul's fictional tortures are based in fact.
Unspeakable horrors were committed there in its 100 year history. Saul's story centers on an abandoned asylum in the town of Blackstone. While King is the superior writer and his story is better, Saul makes better use of the serialization process to tell his story. Following King’s success, John Saul published his own serialized novel called The Blackstone Chronicles. Recalling the age of Dickens, when novels were published in serialized booklets, Stephen King published a serialized novel in 1996 called The Green Mile.
