Book Review: "The Institute" by Stephen King
Check out my review for The Institute by @StephenKing!
#scifi #horror #bookreview #bookrecommendations #psychic
I chose a book that waited a while on my shelf for my next read of 2023, Stephen King’s “The Institute”.
I’m a King fanboy; everyone who knows me knows that. So let me cut right to the chase: this book is brilliant. It is absurd that the man is still pumping out books of this calibre at this stage in his career. King has written so many classics that he could get away with phoning it in at 75.…

As a Constant Reader of Stephen King since the tender age of 14, you might think I’m biased when reviewing his novels. However, as I’ve become a more critical reader and indeed when re-reading some of his older work, I’m not ashamed or afraid to call out those elements that are obviously problematic. Recently, I haven’t felt the magic I used to when opening a new King novel. They’ve been good for the most part, I’ve enjoyed them - solid four star reads in most cases, but I haven’t been blown away, that is until I read The Outsider and most recently, The Institute. I feel that King is sometimes at his most powerful when writing about a group of youngsters that join forces - think of the boys in his short story The Body or The Losers Club in the novel It. In The Institute he follows a group of exceptional kids who are abducted from their homes and taken to a dark facility where their unique talents are tested in the most inhumane ways for a higher purpose. The characters in this book are classic King - heroic and villainous in equal measure and the narrative that unfolds when it becomes clear what the Institute is doing is nothing short of captivating. King is spectacularly good at setting a scene filled with tension and horror in such a way that you feel the reverberations of the moments that he creates for a long time after you’ve turned that particular page. For me, this novel is King back to top form, reminding me of his undeniable power in developing both memorable characters and meticulous plots. For anyone new to his work, I’d encourage you to give this a try and I’d love to know your thoughts!

I just received my copy this morning, at first, I preordered it to make a point and help Harry, but now I am actually impatient to read it. I cannot bear this hatred campaign against him, and this obvious racism against Meghan and children, I think that they both are very brave. It’s not about them, it’s about the real purpose of a monarchy in general and about what is acceptable towards people of color. All this starts an incredibly interesting conversation. I’ve visited England many times and I can say that beside charming and witty people, coexists another kind who hates anyone who is not English and white. It is more than time to talk about it. By the way, we have the same kind of racist people in France and obviously many of them also exist in some parts of the United States of America. This book seems to open the door to a much wider matter. #harry #princeharry #harryandmeghan #meghanmarkle #spare #book #theinstitution #theroyalfamily #monarchy #racism #unitedkingdom #england When we want to know the truth about something, the best way is to go directly to the source #truth #thetruth #gotothesource #awfultabloids https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSVBYBvdSD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Institution by Helen Fields @ @Helen_Fields @AvonBooksUK
A mind-blowing suspense thriller with some truly horrible characters, a really twisty and ever changing plotline and a sense that maybe the inmates should be running the asylum.

My thanks to Avon Books for an advance copy for review

UMass Boston Hosts the 2023 Tribal and Indigenous Health Summit
Tribal and Indigenous Leaders, Health Advocates, and Regional, State, and Local Representatives from across New England Gathered for the Inaugural Summit
On September 28, 2023, theInstitute for Community Inclusion (ICI) joined the Tribal and Indigenous Health Summit, led by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Elizabeth Solomon, Elder of Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag, opened the Summit with a Tribal land acknowledgement, and welcomed attendees to her territory. Tribal Chair Brian Weeden of the Mashpee Wampanaog Tribe led the group in prayer. UMass Boston is on the traditional land of Massachusett people.
Throughout the day, Tribal and Indigenous leaders and others talked about mental health, the COVID-19 response, public health data, and substance abuse prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction in Tribal and Indigenous communities.
Chairwoman Cheryl Andrew-Maltais of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head addressed the audience in her Keynote speech:
“Miraculously, through our strength, courage, and resiliency, we’re here today to make positive changes in our Tribal communities’ health…By working together, we can build a better healthcare system for our people. By listening to us and our traditional cultural knowledge and incorporating our traditional medicinal practices, we can develop effective means to have better healthcare outcomes for our peoples.”
Cheryl Andrew-Maltais of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head speaks at a podium with a banner that says, “Welcome. Massachusetts Tribal and Indigenous Health Summit 2023 Department of Public Health”
Several staff and faculty from ICI and the School for Global Inclusion and Social Development (SGISD) attended the Summit to learn about the rich history and strengths, challenges, and health threats facing Tribal and Indigenous communities across the nation. SGISD’s new Director Dr. Tiffany Donaldson expressed gratitude for sharing this space of learning with Tribal leaders:
“I learned so much through our work with Tribal leaders about cultural history and commitment to raising awareness about Native Health inequities and barriers to access. We will continue to partner with Tribal leaders and Indigenous communities to learn about what worked in the COVID pandemic and to promote health and wellness in areas of interest to Native people.”
Dr. Tiffany Donaldson looking to her side and smiling while talking to another attendee.
ICI and SGISD staff also learned about colonialism’s devastating impact on Native health. ICI Senior Research Fellow Dr. Susan Foley was honored to hear from tribal leaders, elders, Native doctoral students, Native researchers, Native mental health providers, Indian Urban Health, Indian Health Services, and Tribal and Indigenous People Serving Organizations. She shared about her learnings and ongoing commitment to advocacy:
“We heard calls for action unequivocally pointing to existing threats to tribal community well-being. As researchers in disability services, we will strongly advocate for more Native disability research capacity and support for Native researchers. We will continue to partner with Dr. Cedric Woods at the Institute for New England Native American Studies on the Native Equity in Employment and Recovery Project, with deep respect and friendship.”
Dr. Cedric Woods is the Director of UMass Boston’s Institute for New England Native American Studies (INENAS) and served on the planning committee for the Summit.
ICI Senior Research Associate Dr. Allison Taylor echoed these sentiments:
“It was a gift to experience the Campus Center Ballroom as a Native space and to be invited as a guest into that space, as we looked out on the land and waters of the Massachusett people. I was struck by the many examples of Native ingenuity, perseverance, and resilience to foster community health and well-being, within a context of ongoing erasure, inequity, and injustice.”
Allison Taylor, on left wearing a black mask, black dress, and colorful scarf, talks with Ella Blackowl, also from SGISD.
Two UMass Medical School PhD students who are Mashpee Wampanoag tribal members wrapped up the Summit with a brief tribal history and discussion of the impact of historical trauma. They also talked about how and why they decided to pursue Tribal health professions and what that will mean to the Tribal and Indigenous communities they represent.
Quinn Barbour, ICI’s Senior Marketing and Communications Manager, took photographs to commemorate this inaugural event.
James Beard Award-winning Chef Sherry Pocknett catered the event with Indigenous cuisine from her Wampanoag culture. Pocknett’s restaurant the Sly Fox Den Too is in Charlestown, Rhode Island.
On right, SGISD and INENAS’ Cedric Woods shakes hands with Dr. Robert Goldstein, Commissioner of the MA Department of Public Health.

Staffers responsible for the event posed together for a group photo.

Indigenous Peoples' Day
This year, we observe Indigenous Peoples' Day on Monday, October 9. Observing Indigenous Peoples' Day is an act of solidarity with Native Peoples. Indigenous Peoples' Day has replaced Columbus Day in many locales. Christopher Columbus exploited and enslaved Taíno Peoples and appropriated their homelands. Observing Columbus Day celebrates colonialism and memorializes the demographic collapse, enslavement, and attempted erasure of Native Peoples in the Americas.
This October, take some time to learn more about indigenous people and cultures. Here are some additional resources to explore:
Native Reads: Books from Indigenous Communities
Living Nations, Living Worlds: A Map of First Peoples Poetry
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe
Indigenous People’s Day: Red Lake Nation News
Praying Towns in Massachusetts: History
Association on American Indian Affairs
National Geographic: Native American imagery is all around us, while the people are often forgotten
New York Times: Lost Lives, Lost Culture: The Forgotten History of Indigenous Boarding Schools
Indian Law Resource Center: Ending Violence against Native Women
Walking in Two Worlds: Supporting the Two Spirit and Native LGBTQ Community
Workforce GPS: Native American Disability Resource Hub
Videos produced by the Native American Disability Law Center

Does your mind wander? How far is too far? What do you picture when you daydream? Where do you go? How often is too often? When is mind wandering enabling and freeing? When does mental restlessness become impairment? What are the boundaries between order and disorder, in the psychiatric, artistic, social and metaphorical senses of the terms? How do the wanderings of the mind and body correlate? In what ways can a science-art collaborative exploration of mind wandering contribute to, challenge and extend our understanding of wellbeing?
We sat on a mat and had a chat and made maps! #MagicCarpet is an art-science collaboration by artist Dr Kai Syng Tan and Professor of Psychiatry Philip Asherson, both based at the world-leading Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, which is part of theInstitute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. The 1.5 year project (August 2017 - December 2018) weaves visual art practice and research in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) together to explore mind wandering. Through that, the project opens up a creative/critical space to problematise psychiatric/cultural constructs of '(ab-)normality' and wellbeing, approaches and (mis)understandings of mental health, and interdisciplinary/sectorial 'productive antagonsims' (Latham and Tan 2016). The multifaceted project includes workshops, and outputs include a publication, short films, badges, performances and a tapestry installation.

The Institution by Helen Fields
Happy publication day @Helen_Fields. The Institution, the second Connie Woolwine book, is out now and it's an absolute cracker.
@AvonBooksUk
#books #booktwitter #booktwt #theinstitution #publicationday
I am absolutely delighted to share my thoughts on The Institution, the brand new Connie Woolwine thriller from Helen Fields. I’ve had this on my TBR since picking up a proof copy at Bloody Scotland last September and it’s been sitting on the book trolley, judging me and urging me to pick it up ever since. I finally did and I am so very grateful to publisher Avon books for the advance copy. Here’s…

"The Institution" by Helen Fields - Book Review @AvonBooksUK #NetGalley #TheInstitution #BookReview @Helen_Fields
I’m worn out. This novel was one of the most intense novels I’ve ever read.
Set in a very isolated, maximum security prison hospital, the novel was so claustrophobic that I longed to leave there… but not before I found out what happened of course. The place was so very remote that staff had to live in, making it a prison for the people who worked there as well. We don’t know where the Institution…
