Asylum is the story of three young adults who have enrolledin a 6 week summer school before college that takes place in an
institution with dormitories that are attached in what use to be
part of a sanitarium. Daniel is the main character. He is a
typical teen with worries about fitting in and having friends but
after arriving at the asylum also questions his sanity--so many
bad dreams, de ja vu, disappearing emails and sleepless nights.
Abby is the pretty, artistic one who pairs up with Dan but seems
to have past ties to the asylum--maybe an aunt was once
confined there? Jordan is the tad rebellious one--just
announcing that he is gay and then not going to the summer
school his parents arranged for him! Sometimes our trio are exploring off limit places and find things they shouldn't--other times they are trying to be good and doing exactly what is expected of them and weird things just happen.
This is a very unnerving story. There are mind games at play that make it hard to know what is real--and just when you think you have it all figured out, there is one more clue that shows you that you really have NOTHING figured out!
Good story.
