About this listen
In 1859, the Shawtuck Lunatic Asylum opened in rural Delaware County as the new standard for the treatment of the mentally ill. But now this huge, Gothic structure sits brooding and abandoned, brought down by a long, sordid history of depravity, mistreatment, and murder. It may be rotting up on Shawtuck Mountain, but it's not alone.
Oswald "Oz" Patterson is the new sheriff of Delaware County. After a near-death experience as a cop in the South Bronx, he decided to move away from the inner city and live a safer life. But Oz will find that he has only traded one nightmare for an even worse one.

For fans of Nightmare on Elm Street and the 1989 classic Heathers comes Dead by Morning, a supernatural thriller that combines the angst of a high school drama and the gore of a nightmarish slasher. "He was real, and he was a monster." Obsession is deadly. No one learns that better than Luna Ketz, a pessimistic high school senior. Caught between the intentions of her stern father and business-minded mother, boys are the last thing on Luna’s mind, but this fact doesn’t detour mysterious bad boy Chance Welfrey from trying to gain her affection.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Ellie Jordan's job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia - the most haunted city in the United States. When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbing presence in the old mansion they've recently purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead she finds herself confronting an evil that is older and more powerful than she'd ever expected.

Story
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

wonderful story with excellent narration
This was a good story and I love that it was about the horrors done to the mentally ill back in the day. Also this narration was excellent! Skyler has a voice that I could listen to everyday. He had great pronunciation and read each character a little differently. This was a great audiobook.

Brilliant! Beautifully done! Wow!
I can sum up Shawtuck Asylum in two words. BRILLIANT PERFECTION! I have listened straight through twice and I’m going back in for a third time! The writing is PERFECTION!The prologue giving the history of Shawtuck and other asylums of its kind is not only interesting, it is the perfect set up for what follows! No spoilers! Just trust me please and DO NOT skip the prologue! All will become clear later! After that prologue, THIS fascinated listener was ready to sign up for a tour! Then as the story got rolling, the tour was definitely OFF the table! I listened to Shawtuck Asylum in horrified, stunned, albeit delighted AWE! The plot is drawn magnificently! The story flows smoothly and when all is revealed, everything made perfect sense! I was left with no unanswered questions. I’m not going into plot details because I don’t want to spoil the fun for anyone. And the epilogue? Oh my heart, beyond perfection! It just does not get any better. The narration bringing this story to life is amazing PERFECTION! Clear, concise, at times hypnotic, shiver inducing perfection! I could tell exactly what every character was feeling by the excellent use of tonal inflection, vocal emotion and timing! A story of this caliber, combined with this level of professional performance is truly the PERFECT combination! Five stars!

Great story to get you ready for Halloween
So funny that this cover photo is an old Halloween prop! I use to own it.
I enjoyed this book and the history of the real asylums this was based on.
Narration by Skyler Morgan was excellent as always.

Amazing story
This is a really interesting story. Although the place it talks about isn't real. Places like this did exist. This book brought all of that to life. Would definitely recommend this one to everyone who loves fiction mixed with a little nonfiction

Shawtuck Asylum
If you enjoy stories about haunted asylums or just stories that are creepy enough to give you pause, this is a great short book. The first part reads like a textbook about the horrific history of insane asylums and sets up the story in a great way. The mixture of the local tales surrounding Shawtuck mixed with the ghost hunters later in the book all comes together by the end.
Without giving away spoilers. I would have liked more background on some of the creepier characters and more of the "creepy" action toward the end of the book. All in all, I would recommend this as a great listen for those who are looking for some Halloween scares.
The narrator did a great job and his performance added a lot to my enjoyment. I will definitely be looking for more books by both the author and the narrator. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the publisher/narrator/author and chose to review it.

Welcome to the Madhouse
Shawtuck Asylum by Richard McCrohan is a great horror story. It starts off a little slow but once it picks up trust me it picks up. I loved the fact that with the plot of the story I could not figure out if this was more a paranormal story or killers in an asylum story. The characters were all very well written and believable. Something that stood out for me was the authors notes at the end. Stating how why this story is fictional what was described to happen in mental institutions was very much a real thing and urged the listener to look into it. However the narrator Skyler Morgan is the true highlight of Shawtuck Asylum. He managed to not only tell the story brilliantly but really bring the world to life. Never once did I think to myself good story bad narrator. I will be looking into other books narrated by Skyler Morgan now. All in all I would recommend Shawtuck Asylum to anyone who likes a good thriller or horror story.

Great book
Really liked this book. Liked that it was based on actual events related to asylums. Worth your time. The narrator is one of my favorites. He does a great job.
