About this ebook

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. 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.

Dan, Abby, and Jordan remain traumatized by the summer they shared in the Brookline asylum. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Don't miss Madeleine Roux's all-new gothic horror novel, House of Furies.

Ratings and reviews

2nd book in the "Asylum" series and it does not disappoint. Easy to read, great story and I love the plot. Very much looking forward to much more by this author in the future!

My Review: In this sequel to Asylum, Dan, Abby, and Jordan are still very much traumatized by the summer the spent at the Brookline asylum. Despite their best efforts to move on, someone wants to keep their terror alive, sending them old and creepy carnival photos. Determined to figure out who is behind this, and how to make it stop. The teens return to New Hampshire College as weekend prospective students only to find the carnival not only real, but on the college campus. Between sample classes, college parties, and their mentors, Dan and his friends embark on a journey and uncover a horrible past that Camford is hiding, and it runs much deeper than the teens could ever imagine. Dofidfogjordgjrkgjmnkgnfdkgfd. That’s what I feel like this post should look it! Full of gibberish because I just can’t even! Allow me to attempt to gather my thoughts in a review that contains actual words. It’s not secret that I loved Asylum! I don’t live to far from an old haunted asylum myself, so the book sparked my imagination. Sequels are tricky, sometimes they work, other times they seem to fall short of the first book. But fear not! This book lives up to and is dare I say it, better than the fi

I read the first book. Was happy with the first installment. Couldn't wait for this one good storyline. Just read it if u don't believe me
