For those who enjoyed Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, the New York Times bestseller, Asylum is an exciting and eerie picture book.
New Hampshire College Prep is more than just a summer programme for sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford; it's his lifeline. Dan, who was an outsider in high school, is eager to spend his last summer before college with friends. However, Dan discovers upon his arrival at the programme that his summertime residence was formerly a sanatorium—better known as an insane. And not just any asylum—this was a criminally ill person's final option.
Dan quickly learns that it's not by accident that the three of them wound themselves here as he and his new pals, Abby and Jordan, investigate the dark corners of their eerie summer house. Because the secret to a horrifying history is hidden in the institution. Furthermore, certain secrets just won't remain hidden.
Madeleine Roux's first novel for teenagers, Asylum, is a horror narrative that walks the fine line between brilliance and insanity. It features genuine abandoned asylums and unearthed images with dark history, and it's packed with nail-biting suspense and unnerving mystery.
