Publisher Description
Madeleine Roux's New York Times bestselling Asylum is a thrilling and creepy photo-illustrated novel that Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut that reveals the enduring impact of buried trauma on a place."
Featuring found photographs from real asylums and filled with chilling mystery and page-turning suspense, Asylum is a horror story that treads the line between genius and insanity, perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
For sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, the New Hampshire College Prep program is the chance of a lifetime. Except that when Dan arrives, he finds that the usual summer housing has been closed, forcing students to stay in the crumbling Brookline Dorm—formerly a psychiatric hospital. As Dan and his new friends Abby and Jordan start exploring Brookline's twisty halls and hidden basement, they uncover disturbing secrets about what really went on here . . . secrets that link Dan and his friends to the asylum's dark past. Because Brookline was no ordinary mental hospital, and there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Don't miss Madeleine Roux's all-new shivery fantasy series, House of Furies.

Not too bad!
A good creepy story. A little slow moving. Definitely aimed towards YA readers. Good enough to want me to continue on with the next book in the series. Will be looking for a sale on that one! The narrator was good. Unfortunately he didn’t have much of a chance to display his extensive narrative talent until near the end of the book, where he did a really good job at portraying an unhinged student. ☺️
