Three chilling novellas set in the world of the New York Times bestselling novel Asylum, which Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut." For the first time, these three terrifying stories will appear together with new found photographs perfect for new readers or diehard series fans looking for new clues and insights into the thrilling world of Asylum. This collection also features bonus sneak peeks at Asylum, Sanctum, and Catacomb, the novels that first introduced the Brookline asylum's legacy of terror.
In The Scarlets, Cal is drawn into New Hampshire College's twisted secret society—one with a deadly initiation.
In The Bone Artists, Oliver tries to make a little extra money for college by working for a seedy organization that traffics in human bones.
In The Warden, a young nurse starts a new job at the Brookline asylum but soon becomes suspicious of its unorthodox procedures. . . .
MY REVIEW:
I've read the first two novels in Roux's series: Asylum and Sanctum, both deliciously creepy. These three novellas are no less compelling and eerie. Each gives a brief and terrifying glimpse into the early years of the mental hospital, Brookline, and the dark figures who inhabit it.
If you want stories that give you the willies and make you look over your shoulder, give the Asylum series a try.
