About this listen
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.

great story mediocre writer
loved the story, didn't care for the writing style. ibsen seems to feel the need to repeat details often as if they are very important plot points that would be forgotten unless he repeats them 5 times. characters shoot for relatable rather than interesting. The mystery of the story does draw you in though!

WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF CHAOS TO GO WITH THAT
Fantastic book. Keeps you on your toes right until the very end
Joe Hempel narrates with such enthusiasm bringing each character to life.

Returning it
I suffered through this hoping it would get better but this wouldn’t meet the bar for an old-school B-movie. Don’t bother. Your teenager could write a better one.

awful
I wish I'd never bought this. Sounds harsh? Yeah, maybe, but look, here's the thing. I picked it (and because it's literally the first third of a novel) the other two books in the trilogy on Audible YEARS ago, and I'm still getting this author in my recommendations. Which would be fine, except...
I didn't like it. It reads like the author was just phoning it it, and each of the three parts are worse than the last. It was silly, it was thin, the characters were placeholders, and it just wasn't scary. And then AND THEN it had the AUDACITY to end on a cliffhanger to force you to get the next book.
The thing is, the trilogy could have easily been condensed into a single book, had the author skipped the filler. It felt like this was the product of a quota he needed to fill.
Potentially interesting concept, but a disappointing execution.

Ugh.
Nothing of significance happens until the final chapters and, when it does, it isn't very interesting. The story line is disjointed, the characters one-dimensional, the scares never happen and the narration is pretty bad. What a waste of time and money.
