"Days after reading Asylum, I'm still haunted by the images that
Madeleine Roux's words conjured. I just want to curl up inside her
skull and exist for a while in its dark, twisted magnificence.
Brilliant!" - Heather Brewer, New York Times Bestselling Author of
The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod
"Page-turning. Fans of 'found footage' horror will enjoy this
visually creepy take on the haunted-institution setting." - Kirkus
Reviews
"The plentiful illustrations both advance the story line and
immeasurably contribute to the spooky atmosphere. With its abundant
jump scares, horror readers and fans of the TV show American Horror
Story will delight in the fast-paced plot." - Booklist
"Illustrations used in this book are from actual asylums, and the
author builds the tension nicely as Dan receives what may be
messages from an inmate. A good choice for readers who enjoy books
with scary situations that lead to a solid climax." - Voice of
Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"A strong YA debut. Roux (aided by unsettling photo illustrations
of abandoned asylums and tormented patients) creates an
entertaining and occasionally brutal horror story that reveals the
enduring impact of buried trauma and terror on a place." -
