Escape from Asylum
A prequel.
In this prequel to the New York Times bestselling Asylum series, complete with spooky found photographs, a young teen is wrongfully committed to the Brookline asylum and must escape before becoming one of the evil Warden’s experiments.
Long before Dan, Abby, and Jordan ever walked the hallways of the Brookline asylum - back when it was still a psych ward and not a dorm - sixteen-year-old Rick Desmond was wrongfully committed, against his will.
In this prequel novel set many years before the events of Asylum, Rick finds himself trapped in the asylum at the height of the sinister warden Crawford’s regime. As Rick learns more about the shocking treatments - and experiments - that are happening at Brookline, he realizes he needs to get out before he is “cured” forever. With the help of a sympathetic nurse, Rick must plan his escape from the inhumane hospital, and soon. Because either Rick is actually starting to go mad, or else the asylum is haunted by much more than dark memories...
