Séance in the Asylum (2024-)

1865. The gaslit halls of The Ashcroft Hospital are the new stage for Alicia Wilkinson, a disgraced medium. At the invitation of Dr. John James Templeton, she conducts séances for the patients—shell-shocked veterans and women deemed hysterical—to draw out their afflictions. Alicia knows her craft is a fraud, a series of practiced lies. Yet, after her sessions, the inmates begin to convulse and speak in tongues not their own. The air in the wards grows thick and cold. A genuine disturbance has answered her counterfeit call, and the asylum walls cannot contain it.
