Fans of 'found footage' horror will enjoy this visually creepy take on the haunted-institution setting." - Kirkus, With plentiful old photographs of carnival acts, Roux works the creepy verisimilitude that made Asylum such a page-turner. 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." - Publishers Weekly "Page-turning. Brilliant!" - New York Times -bestselling author Heather Brewer "A strong YA debut. I just want to curl up inside her skull and exist for a while in its dark, twisted magnificence. Praise for Asylum : "Days after reading Asylum, I'm still haunted by the images that Madeleine Roux's words conjured. Don't miss Madeleine Roux's all-new gothic horror novel, House of Furies. Camford is hiding a terrible past, and the truth behind Dan's connection to the asylum's evil warden is more terrifying than Dan ever imagined. Sneaking away from sample classes and college parties, Dan and his friends lead a tour of their own-one through the abandoned houses and hidden places of a surrounding town. Forsaking their plan never to go back, the teens return to New Hampshire College under the guise of a weekend for prospective students, and there they realize that the carnival from the photos is not only real, it's here on campus, apparently for the first time in many years. Much as they'd love to move on, many questions remain, and someone is determined to keep the terror alive, sending the teens photos of an old-timey carnival, with no note and no name. Dan, Abby, and Jordan remain traumatized by the summer they shared in the Brookline asylum. With the page-turning suspense and horror that made Asylum such a standout, and featuring found photographs from real vintage carnivals, Sanctum is a mind-bending reading experience that's perfect for fans of the smash hit Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. In the chilling second book in the New York Times bestselling Asylum series, three teens must return to the asylum that still haunts their dreams to end the nightmare once and for all.
