Gotham is quiet. Too quiet.
With the most dangerous rogues of Arkham Asylum locked away, the city finally breathes-until the bodies begin to appear.
Unmarked. Untraceable. Unnatural.
A new kind of terror stalks the streets under the cover of night: a ghost in a black cloak, a mask of twisted mercy, and a doctrine of death for those deemed "sick." No clues. No witnesses. Only the dead remain.
As fear spreads like a disease, Batman is left to face an enemy unlike any he's hunted before-an intelligent, meticulous killer who sees himself not as a monster, but a cure.
And Gotham? Just the first patient.

Mad Love & Mayhem
Felix believed he could study madness without falling into it. He was wrong. As an intern at Arkham Asylum, he was expected to investigate Gotham's most dangerous minds, not become one of them. Then he met Hyunjin. The Joker. A walking enigma with a blood-red smile and a desire for anarchy. Felix persuaded himself he was merely doing research. It's just fascination. It's just curiosity. Until it was not. The city now whispers their names out of fear. The boundary between love and obsession has blurred beyond recognition, and Felix is too far gone to notice. He belonged to Hyunjin. And Hyunjin? He also belonged to Felix. But Gotham is unyielding, and even love forged from blood and ruin has limitations. When the Bat comes knocking, Felix is forced to choose between running deeper into the lunacy and losing the only thing that has ever felt completely real. Whatever happens, something will burn.Complete![Sedulous [1] - | J |](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/119752670-256-k472118.jpg)
