Contents
Taint of Madness deals with asylums and sanatoriums in detail, lists all the recognized forms of insanity as well as their treatments, and details three fully developed asylums – Bethlehem for the 1890s, Arkham for the 1920s, and Bellevue for the 1990s.[1]
Reception
Dean Evans reviewed Taint of Madness for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall.[1] Evans comments that "Taint of Madness is an interesting, thought-provoking book and, like most of the Cthulhu add-ons, is crammed with information. But since most referees prefer to side-step the idle months between scenarios, it's not exactly an essential read."[1]
