Upon Hathorne Hill, sits Danvers State Hospital. Built in 1878, but soon closed in 1992, the abandoned "insane asylum" is said to be the place where lobotomy was born. On the eve of the hospital's destruction, six nervous teens break in to spend the night and film a movie about what they experience. For Derik, it's an opportunity of a lifetime to win a filmmaking contest and save himself from a future of flipping burgers at his family diner, as a tradition. For the others, it's a chance to be on TV, or a night with no parents, or a chance to earn some extracurricular credits for college. But what starts as a dare quickly becomes a nightmare. Behind the crumbling walls, down every dark secret passageway, and every deserted room, they will unravel the mysteries of the souls who once lived there and the spirits who still might.
This chilling tale is definitely one of Laurie Faria Stolarz's best novels.
5/5 stars, of course.
*Sorry, Mackenzie, still going with the scares!!!*
