Winner of the 2018 Audiobook Reviewer Award for best horror!
What lurks within Chaythe Asylum?
College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. When a student asks him to head a new campus organization that centers around paranormal research, he puts his skepticism aside, and signs on in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus.
Enter Chaythe Asylum - a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students.
But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building. It has watched and waited for nearly three decades, and when Stephen and his students enter, they find themselves at the center of a nightmare 28 years in the making.
Asylum is the first novel in the Afterlife Investigations Trilogy.

Kevin Taylor is an Internet-famous handyman on a mission: Find a house and renovate it in 30 days. By flipping a derelict house in a month's time and chronicling the entire thing on video for his online subscribers, he seeks to become a star. The problems that plague this property will require more than elbow grease to fix, however. Shadows throughout the home are distorted, and an enigmatic trespasser keeps showing up in his footage. Worse still are the hideous voices that issue from otherwise empty rooms in the dead of night.

At sixteen, Sadie Young had a brush with death, and as a result she became more sensitive to the supernatural. Rather than embrace this gift, she spent years running from it, and from the darkness that once preyed upon her. Now twenty-five and working as a librarian, Sadie is called upon by a desperate family friend to look into a strange series of events. A teenaged girl has entered a reputedly haunted house in town and has gone mad. Committed, the girl attempts suicide and claims to be terrorized at all hours by a horrific specter known as "Mother Maggot."

It was only supposed to be a game. In a boring suburb, three lonely men seeking distractions from their monotonous routines get together in an abandoned house to play a macabre game of show-and-tell. Nothing is off-limits in their little circle - anything, no matter how depraved, is welcome...so long as it's frightening. But when one member brings what sounds like an audio recording of an actual murder to a meeting, featuring the tortured screams and pleas of an anonymous woman, the jaded club members find themselves truly rattled.

From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program - a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him - Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer.

Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stomping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.

Another great Ibsen/Hempel story
What made the experience of listening to Asylum the most enjoyable?
Joe Hempel. He really does a fantastic job narrating all of his stories. He definitely adds to the tension of the plot and truly perfected his craft.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Elizabeth, she was the only character who actually has a mission. Stephen is only doing this for money as he is broke and Jake is only doing it because I assume he loves his girlfriend. Why the story centers around Stephen, he was my least favorite character. I don't mean that as a bad thing, I just personally didn't like him and wouldn't want to be his friend.
Have you listened to any of Joe Hempel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Absolutely and as always he does not disappoint.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions but it definitely made me want to listen to the next story. I am happy to see that there is going to be more to the story than just a simple haunted asylum.

Another great read!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Asylum to be better than the print version?
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
I am legally blind and cannot read the printed work. That being said, the life the narrator brings to the audio version would make me a listener even if I could see!
Which character – as performed by Joe Hempel – was your favorite?
I truly liked Professor Barlow. He was a professor down on his luck and he was the witness of a major crisis in the death of the student by hit and run. The character was real in the sense that he had true feelings and he wasn't the typical stuffy college prof. He couldn't stand his office mate and he interacted with people like a normal guy. He wasn't afraid to tell a lie to suit his needs.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Some things are best left alone.
Any additional comments?
I am a huge fan of Ibsen! This new series did not disappoint! The characters were very realistic, the plot flowed easily for me, and the narrator brought life to the book! I can not wait for the next installment!

Creepy story, absolutely loved it! Fantastic narrator, relatable characters, kind of standard horror setting (old, abandoned asylum), but not your typical specter which made for a very enjoyable listen. Sets up nicely for the next book which I plan to listen to soon. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Kept me intrested
Although the story kept me intrested, it took forever to even get to the asylum.This book is only 6 hours long and 3 hours into it they still weren't in the asylum. The main female character is unbearably annoying. The main character is an adjunct professor who is broke from only teaching one class. however, he is always eating out, drinking, grabbing Starbucks or smoking. I really find it hard to feel his struggle. Not sure if I'm going to Continue the series.

Just ended!
Where does Asylum rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Asylum?

Any additional comments?
I was surprised that it just ended out of nowhere. It caught me off guard. I guess that is the hook to book two?
