New Releases by Madeleine Roux

In this chilling e-original story set in the world of Madeleine Roux''s New York Times bestselling novel Asylum, which Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut," one teen''s descent into the ranks of a secret society leaves him with a secret he''ll have to take to his grave. When Dan and his friends meet Cal in Sanctum—the sequel to Asylum—their impression of the privileged New Hampshire College student is less than stellar. But Cal wasn''t always the cold, sarcastic guy he is now. In this digital original story preceding the events of Sanctum, we meet Cal when he is experiencing college like any other kid with a group of close friends and a dad who piles on the pressure. Only, when the pressure starts getting to him and Cal accepts an invitation to meet a selective group of students and alumni known only as the Scarlets, the course of Cal''s life changes forever. And the price of joining the Scarlets might be higher than he can pay. With plenty of twists, turns, and thrills, The Scarlets is an exhilarating installment in the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or provide a missing piece of the puzzle for series fans. Epic Reads Impulse is a digital imprint with new releases each month.

De zestienjarige Dan Crawford moet voor straf naar een speciale zomerschool om zijn eindexamen te kunnen halen. Eigenlijk heeft Dan er best zin in: op zijn eigen school heeft hij geen vrienden en wie weet wat voor mensen hij nu gaat ontmoeten. Al snel ontdekt hij dat het schoolgebouw een voormalig gesticht is waar gestoorde criminelen werden opgesloten. Terwijl Dan en zijn nieuwe vrienden Abby en Jordan het duistere oude gebouw onderzoeken, komen ze erachter dat het geen toeval is dat ze alle drie naar de school zijn gestuurd. Het gesticht is de sleutel tot een angstaanjagend verleden, en sommige geheimen kunnen niet altijd verborgen blijven. Madeleine Roux is geboren in Minnesota en woont nu in Louisiana. Haar zeer succesvolle blog Allison Hewitt Is Trapped is een unieke vorm van fictie in feuilletonvorm. Het gesticht is haar eerste boek voor jongere lezers.

"Plagued by nightmares from their summer in the Brookline asylum, Dan, Abby, and Jordan return to New Hampshire College for a prosective students weekend, only to find themselves caught in a dark and dangerous mystery"--

Madeleine Roux''s New York Times bestselling Asylum is a thrilling and creepy photo-illustrated novel that Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut that reveals the enduring impact of buried trauma on a place." For sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, the New Hampshire College Prep program is the chance of a lifetime. Except that when Dan arrives, he finds that the usual summer housing has been closed, forcing students to stay in the crumbling Brookline Dorm. The dorm was formerly a sanatorium, more commonly known as an asylum. And not just any asylum—a last resort for the criminally insane. As Dan and his new friends Abby and Jordan start exploring Brookline''s twisty halls and hidden basement, they uncover disturbing secrets about what really went on at Brookline . . . secrets that link Dan and his friends to the asylum''s dark past. Because Brookline was no ordinary asylum, and there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried. Featuring found photographs from real asylums and filled with chilling mystery and page-turning suspense, Asylum is a horror story that treads the line between genius and insanity, perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine''s Home for Peculiar Children. Don''t miss any of the books in the Asylum series, or Madeleine Roux''s shivery fantasy series, House of Furies!

A bookstore clerk blogs while fighting off the zombie apocalypse in this chilling adventure by the New York Times–bestselling author of Asylum. Allison Hewitt and her five colleagues at the Brooks and Peabody Bookstore are trapped together when the zombie outbreak hits. Allison reaches out for help through her blog, writing on her laptop and utilizing the military’s emergency wireless network (SNET). It may also be her only chance to reach her mother. But as the reality of their situation sinks in, Allison’s blog becomes a harrowing account of her edge-of-the-seat adventures (with some witty sarcasm thrown in) as she and her companions fight their way through ravenous zombies and sometimes even more dangerous humans.
