The main character, Derik, does not want to be stuck taking over
his parents diner. He has a passion for film making and decides to
enter a film contest in hopes of changing his future. He needs a cast
that is brave enough to go to his movies setting, the Danvers State
Hospital which is an abandoned asylum. Each of the five class mates he
lures into the project has their own reason for joing the project.
Mimi, the goth, wants to find proof of her grandmother in the hospital. Lize, the scholar, needs extracurricular activities on her college application.
Greta (Ashley) and Tony are a drama club couple who each want their
time in the spot light. And Chet, the clown, wants a night away from
his drunk of a father. Once inside the asylum, while filming, they all
start having their own freak experiences and feel the hospital needs them there. Relationships are built in this night of horror that changes most of their lives. It was a very fast and easy read with some genuine goosebump moments.
Don't read it at night! I've never read a "scary" book, so I have
nothing of its type to compare it to. But, I believe it was generally a good
read.
