Escape From Asylum Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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.

Not only have I loved every book in this series, I have loved everything I've read from this author (check out her zombie books if you haven't), and this book definitely did not disappoint. When I received this book after pre-ordering, I was torn between being excited to read it, and being terrified to do so right before bed. This book felt different than others in the series in that it had a lot less mystery and a lot more heartfelt character building, but it was a pleasant change of pace at this point in the series when all the serious surprises have been revealed. I especially enjoyed the re-appearance of Nurse Ash as this seemed like the perfect continuation to The Warden novella. I would recommend this author who enjoys mystery and relatable character building as much as horror.
It was an incredible book and it startled me quite a few times towards the beginning to middle with a little at the end. I love horror-ish books like this. The atmospheric things were in great detail and did an amazing job of putting you into the scene! Great job!
I read the Asylum series and then read Escape from Asylum, it helps you piece togetherthings you were wondering about when you read the first 3 books. Excellent series ofbooks. Madeleine Roux did an awesome job. Keep your books coming!!!!
Nice but predictable, nothing gets really solved at the end. What's the Warden trying to acomplish...? inmortality...? How?Nice to read at the airplane or by the pool but don't expect answers because you are not going to get them, even so by half the book it gets creepy and I enjoy it but expected a lot more.
I just love this series of books! They are marked as a teen-type of book but as an adult I love them too. They are addicting and I have really gotten into the stories. Madeleine Roux is a great story teller and gives details so well that you feel you are right there with the characters. This book takes place long before the first 3 and has active characters in it that were only referred to in the first 3 books. I can't recommend it enough!!! A must-read series!!!!!
Well written with interesting and unique characters. This is a rather dark supernatural novel regarding what was done to patients in mental hospitals as late as the 1970's. I liked the author's descriptions of the hospital and the surroundings. It was a good read.
Loved all the l Asylum books. They were horrifying and addicting at the same time. The photos do indeed creep you out until you actually sweat. It also has some great moments with friends and personal life moments.
Similar to the TV series American Horror Story Asylum (Season 2)---minus the creepy atmosphere, excitement, intrigue, suspense, fear, horror, and vivid characterizations I was expecting based on the manic reviews. Summary: Petulant adolescents dealing with oppressive adults that just happens to take place in an asylum. Well-written but about as captivating as a patient overdosed on Thorazine. Perhaps I am in the wrong demographics for this book, or perhaps because a petulant adolescent defiantly revealed the ending of the book in her review on GoodReads before I read it, but I was glad when I finished my time in this "Asylum." Quick, get me back to "Shutter Island"!
