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. Perfect for Halloween reading Ideal for fans of the supernatural For teens who love dark and scary stories

Ellos se dicen Artistas, Artistas de Huesos. No debes nombrarlos, ya que su magia te encontrará y tu espíritu nunca estará en paz.

"Estuve dentro de su cabeza. No existe libertad en esto. No puede escapar de su propia mente". La pasadilla es solo el comienzo... Si Ricky Desmond tan solo pudiera hacer entrar en razón a su madre, la convencería de que no pertenece al hospital psiquiátrico Bookline. Allí no hay ningún paciente como él: ni el hombre que cree que puede volar ni la mujer que asesinó a su esposo. Todo lo que Ricky hizo fue perder la cabeza un poco... y solo ocurrió una vez. Pero cuando el director Crawford lo selecciona para un programa muy especial -un programa que, según el propio director promete, no lo curará, sino que lo perfeccionará- Ricky se da cuenta de que tal vez no tenga tiempo para hacer entrar en razón a su madre. Debe escapar ahora o puede ser demasiado tarde. Escape de Asylum se sitúa mucho antes de que Dan, Abby y Jordan pusieran un pie en los pasillos de Bookline. Ahora, el hospicio es realmente un hospital, no una residencia para jóvenes universitarios. Madeleine Roux cautiva a sus lectores y los lleva al límite de la locura, con una historia que los dejará sin aliento.

Prepárate para conocer a Cal. Y a los Scarlets... Aunque para enfrentar lo inexplicable y el terror, nunca estamos lo suficientemente preparados... Cal llega al colegio preparatorio como cualquier otro joven, con un grupo de amigos, pero también con un padre poderoso que no hace más que presionarlo. Solo cuando se ve desbordado por esa presión, acepta la propuesta para encontrarse en el sótano del antiguo asilo con un grupo selecto de alumnos y exalumnos: los Scarlets. Una vez que los conozca, su vida cambiará para siempre... y el precio que deberá pagar por unirse a ellos será mucho más alto de lo que imagina. Con giros inesperados y escenas estremecedoras, Scarlets es una historia increíble, sobre uno de los personajes que Dan y sus amigos conocerán en Sanctum, que puede ser leída por aquellos que aún no se adentraron en el mundo de Asylum y que, para los fans de la saga, será una pieza más del gran rompecabezas creado por Madeleine Roux.

¿Qué había visto? Y más importante, ¿qué haría al respecto? Jocelyn podría simplemente huir y dejar todo atrás. Pero la culpa la carcomería. Había ido allí para ser enfermera. Para ayudar. Jocelyn y su mejor amiga, Madge, llegan a las puertas de Brookline, recién egresadas de la escuela de enfermería, ansiosas y emocionadas por comenzar sus nuevas carreras. Pero, desde la primera reunión con el austero director del asilo, sospecharán que su nuevo jefe será algo más que...difícil. Lo que nunca podrán imaginar es cuán siniestro será todo. Una noche, Jocelyn escucha gritos y empieza preguntarse si los tratamientos en el asilo son los correctos. Pero el director tiene los ojos puestos en ella y el tratamiento de los pacientes debería ser la menor de sus preocupaciones. Con una trama que producirá escalofríos a cada vuelta de página y un final sorprendente, El director es una pieza más del espeluznante rompecabezas del mundo de Asylum, una novela aterradora que deleitará a los fanáticos de la saga.
