What lurks within Chaythe Asylum?

College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. When a student asks him to head a new campus organization that centers around paranormal research, he puts his skepticism aside, and signs on in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus.

Enter Chaythe Asylum - a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students.

But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building. It has watched and waited for nearly three decades, and when Stephen and his students enter, they find themselves at the center of a nightmare 28 years in the making.

Asylum is the first novel in the Afterlife Investigations Trilogy.

I did start to enjoy Asylum, however I felt the story dragged a little by the middle. very dissapointing at the ending which only seemed to finish abruptly with no proper conclusion. Enjoyed the narration but characters were a little bit cliche. didn't understand how the tragedy in the beginning really made up for the start of the story as you never found out more about the death at the beginning.

bit of an anticlimax

This really caught me off guard. I expected it to be good, but I didn’t want to turn it off. Ended up with the earplugs on all day.
Wondered where it was going to start with, but the story flows nicely, and found myself holding my breath near the end.
The book is a 3 part, but can be read alone. I have already downloaded the next one!
Worth a listen.

Very good

Not my usual genre, however I was hooked from the get go. It was a bit short, but there are 3 book to the series. I’m looking forward to the next book.
The narrator sounds great and he makes it easy to distinguish between different characters. An all round good read, highly recommendable.
