In this terrifying prequel novel to the New York Times bestselling
Asylum series, a teen is wrongfully committed to the Brookline
psychiatric hospital and must find a way out--before he becomes the next
victim of the evil warden's experiments.
With the page-turning suspense and unsettling found photographs from
real asylums that led Publishers Weekly to call Asylum "a strong YA
debut," Escape from Asylum is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's
Home for Peculiar Children.
The nightmare is just beginning.
Ricky Desmond has been through this all before. If he could just get
through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn't belong at
Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed
her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was
lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is
selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program--a
program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect
him--Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second
longer. With the help of a sympathetic nurse and a fellow patient, Ricky
needs to escape now.
Set long before Dan, Abby, and Jordan ever walked the hallways of the
Brookline asylum--back when it was still a functioning psych ward and
not a dorm--Escape from Asylum is a mind-bending and scary installment
in the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or
provide missing puzzle pieces for series fans.
