![]() ![]() ![]() What Madeleine Roux captured in the pages of this book was pure and creepy gold.ĭaniel Crawford is insanely smart (pun intended) and a little weird so his acceptance into New Hampshire College Prep program or NHCP was no surprise. If you like tales of places like Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Waverly Hill Sanatorium, or Danvers Lunatic Asylum this read will be right up your alley. That aside, I can truly understand what scares other people and I know many that would be unable to finish this book on creepy factor alone. As my friends and family would say, I am beyond hard to scare. I will be honest I am forever in search of a good scare. The cover of Asylum, however, gave me an excited tingling in my brain that shouted read it, read it, read it. I think like many readers the cover draws me in and makes me want to read. The cover was spot on giving the reader the feeling that creepy secrets mixed with a hint of madness wait within. ![]()

Therefore, if rural people wanted to live the American Dream, the city was definitely an encouraging place to go. Due to urbanization, the industrial revolution in the 19th century and the fast rising of the population in the American cities which also was a result of the Civil War, American cities such as New York and Chicago became not only symbols of hope and a new beginning for African-American people but also an allegory for possibilities in the pursuit of happiness which was often identified with material wealth and status. ![]() ![]() ![]() His nephew and heir, Nicholas Radnor, is in possession of the prestigious title and a handsome visage but desperately lacks funds to run his vast estate.

"Gotham by Gaslight" also inspired a follow-up story in Augustyn and artist Eduardo Barreto's tale "Master of the Future." Now, in the latest DC Comics Animated Original Movies installment, both of the famous "Elseworlds" stories come to life in a unique way while also giving fans a new spin on the tale.
