5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book -- and not really about Call of Cthulhu, June 13, 2002
By Noah Gibbs (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly In-Depth!, April 12, 2000
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!
