Summary: An excellent book -- and not really about Call of Cthulhu
Comment: Don't get me wrong. There are basic additional insanity rules, though not many. They've got a quick Asylum setting each for the 1890's, the 1920's and the 1990's. There are a couple of photocopyable handouts and scattered references to mythos beasties.

But really this is a book about the treatment of the insane from the 1890's to the present. It includes treatments, attitudes, medical gibberish from the different eras -- even cure and death rates from historical Asylums! In between dark hints for investigators, the book is packed with a tremendous amount of historical information, and it delivers with a flourish. Beautiful.

Summary: Brillant!!
Comment: This book is eggcellent! I couldn't put it down from the moment that I picked it up. I'm looking foward to more of Tice's works. This book is enTICEing!

Rating: 5
Summary: Truly In-Depth!
Comment: Taint of Madness is an excellent source of insanity! The detailed disorders and phobias as well as their possible "treatments" are a real dark spin to the game! A perfect explanation of how low the human mind can go! AWESOME!
