If you're reading this, Sarah, then I hope you know you had me looking over my shoulder while I read 'The Sanatorium.'

I love watching horror and thriller movies. But I was never big on reading the novels. I changed that over the last year. I've sunk my teeth into a few different thrillers and I've so enjoyed it. They let my imagination run wild. There was one book I read over the summer that kept me from getting out of bed to use the bathroom because I was too scared about what might be in the hallway. I'm not joking.

In comes 'The Sanatorium,' the debut novel from Sarah Pearse. What really stood out about this one for me was how Sarah painted this incredible picture of a hotel in the middle of nowhere. It got me thinking of 'The Shining' and how that hotel played such a sinister role. Having a location as one of the villains allows for so much imagination.

I really loved 'The Sanatorium' and would highly recommend it. I caught up with Sarah to discuss the book and how she got to this point in her career.
