This thrilling and creepy sequel to the New York Times bestselling photo-illustrated novel Asylum features more mind-bending revelations, page-turning action, and chilling photographs - - this time from real vintage carnivals.
Back at their high schools, Dan, Abby, and Jordan are plagued with nightmares about the traumatic summer they shared in the Brookline asylum. Much as they'd love to move on with their lives, someone is determined to keep the terror going, sending the three teens photos of what looks like an old-timey carnival, with no note and no name. Then Dan receives a list of coordinates pointing to abandoned houses in the town near Brookline, and he is convinced that the only way to end the nightmare once and for all is to return to New Hampshire College and follow the trail.
But when they arrive under the guise of a prospective students' weekend, Dan and his friends are shocked to discover that the carnival from their photos isn't just real, it's here on campus. And as they sneak away from their undergrad hosts to visit the houses on their list, they find secrets far darker than anything they'd imagined - secrets about the real source of the late asylum warden's power, and a society known today only as the Scarlets. Now, haunted by the ghosts of a town with a terrible past and pursued by a host of very real enemies, Dan and his friends can only hope to make it out of this campus visit alive.
