But this hopefully will be cleared up in the other two novel Roux has written in this series. I still can’t figure out why he became “possessed” by the serial killer’s spirit in the first place. Felix becoming the bad guy seemed to come completely out of nowhere. Dan, Abby, and Jordan retell their stories to the police about Felix going crazy, and are eventually allowed to go home. They knock-out Felix and escape outside the mental institution where there are dozens of cops at-the-ready. As Dan is about to be horrendously mutilated, Jordan and Abby save the day by rushing to Dan’s aid.
Possessed-Felix wants revenge on Daniel Crawford for the torturous treatments that were performed on him, so torturing head master Crawford’s nearest relative is the best way to get such revenge. Dan wonders what could’ve happened that determined a serial killer to be recovered.Īfter some mysterious occurrences on campus, (the death of a student, and the coma of another), Dan is lured back to the basement of Brookline where he is assaulted by room mate Felix who seems to be possessed by the spirit of the serial killer. The trio also discovers that a serial killer was treated there by Daniel Crawford himself, and was released as a recovered patient. As for Jordan, he just seems to be a tag-along character without much purpose.
Coincidentally, Dan finds out that his distant relative, Daniel Crawford, was the head master of Brookline. It is revealed to Abby that her long-lost aunt, Lucy, was a patient who had the unfortunate experience of having a lobotomy. Roux describes these tools in detail which is good for imagery, but doesn’t really give any background to what they were used for.Ībby and Dan also discover that they seem to have some history at Brookline. Upon venturing further into the bowels of Brookline, the trio finds patients’ rooms, operation rooms, and vulgar tools to preform god-knows-what kind of procedures.
Once in the basement they find artefacts and pictures of patients who attended Brookline and the horrible treatments and experiments they underwent. Felix tells Dan about this and, naturally, Dan, Abby, and Jordan go take a look for themselves. One night Dan’s room mate, Felix, decides to go exploring the abandoned mental institution and discovers some odd photographs in the basement, which is supposed to be off-limits.
The main character is Dan Crawford who meets soon-to-be best friends Abby and Jordan at the school. The former mental institution, Brookline, is temporarily serving as the students’ living quarters because the dorms are under renovation. Review: Madeleine Roux’s Asylum is the story of three teens who attend a prep-school in New Hampshire, and discover some strange happenings in the abandoned mental institution on campus.
