Abandoned Insane Asylums

(4) 4-6 Scary Places series. This series explores high-interest topics engagingly (if superficially). In this book, each double-page spread focuses on an actual asylum, with a couple of paragraphs giving history and examples of some of the horrors patients endured. Photos, computer-manipulated images, and cheesy graphics illustrate the text. Accessible language and sensationalized content will keep this book in circulation. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
