From the fog-shrouded corridors of Bedlam emerges a tale of scientific horror and madness...

LONDON, 1889

As winter descends upon Victorian London, a series of disappearances from the city's poorest quarters raises little concern among authorities.

At the center of this web of terror stands the brilliant but increasingly unstable Dr. Edwin Clingman, a respected physician at Bethlem Royal Hospital—known to Londoners simply as "Bedlam." What his prestigious colleagues don't know is that Clingman's medical career began at the mysterious Miskatonic University in America, where his unorthodox experiments into the boundaries of life and death saw him quietly but firmly asked to leave. Behind Bedlam's imposing façade, Dr. Clingman has converted forgotten chambers into a secret laboratory where he continues his forbidden research—science and depravity intertwining in ways that would horrify even his former academic mentors. Driven by theories deemed too radical by conventional medicine and haunted by personal tragedy, he has crossed the boundaries of medical ethics in his relentless quest to master death itself.

His most devoted acolyte is Ann, a street-hardened youth plucked from the gutters of Whitechapel. Once merely his assistant in procuring "specimens," Ann has developed her own disturbing fascination with their victims—a morbid infatuation that rivals the doctor's scientific obsession. With each new subject, the line between Ann's admiration for Clingman and her twisted desires for their captives grows increasingly blurred.

A chilling gothic thriller perfect for fans of Penny Dreadful and The Alienist, The Case of the Mad Dr. Clingman explores the darkest corners of scientific ambition and the monsters that emerge when brilliance is unchecked by compassion—especially when it finds an eager apprentice equally untethered from humanity's moral constraints.
