Escape from Asylum (Asylum Series, Prequel) by Madeleine Roux
The nightmare is just beginning....
Ricky Desmond doesn't belong in the Brookline asylum. His parents sent him here because they think he's a deviant -- and that he can be cured -- but Ricky knows there's no cure for what he has.
Soon after he arrives, Ricky learns that being locked up against his will is only the beginning of his problems. Rumor has it that the Brookline warden authorizes treatments that aren't entirely... humane. That he's a butcher, a monster. And if the screams Ricky hears coming from the basement are any indication, the rumors are an understatement. Now, with the help of a nurse who feels just as trapped in Brookline as he does, Ricky must escape before the asylum claims his sanity -- or his life.
Madeleine Roux returns to the Asylum series with this page-turning prequel novel, set in the days when the asylum's legacy of terror was not a history but a reality. With haunting found photographs of real asylums, 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.
