The Asylum series by Amy Cross began in 2012 and has grown to eleven installments. Set in Lakehurst, a crumbling psychiatric hospital, the books explore the dark history of the institution through multiple characters and time periods. Each story peels back another layer of the building’s secrets.
The series blends psychological horror with supernatural elements, using the asylum setting to create claustrophobic tension. Cross returns to Lakehurst across the years, most recently with The Madness of Annie Radford in 2018, each time finding new horrors within its walls.
