Reviews / Votes

"Eerie and elegant. Roux suffuses HOUSE OF FURIES with constant, creeping dread." -- Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author "House of Furies takes the reader on a twisting path down a dark hall we're compelled to travel, no matter what is behind the door at the end. Darkly captivating." -- Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of A Madness So Discreet "House of Furies is absolutely terrific! Devious and fun, weird and scary, heartbreaking and triumphant. Madeleine Roux always--always--enchants and surprises!" -- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Mars One "Atmospheric, moody, and great fun." -- Kirkus "From eerie prologue to gory end, this gothic tale is imbued with a lingering sense of unease, offering up a Faustian plot that explores the darkest pits of human nature. Atmospheric and troubling, this series starter will sink its hooks into readers as surely as it frightens them." -- Booklist "Roux (the Asylum series) brings her gothic setting to rich life in this darkly delightful (and frequently gruesome) series opener." -- Publishers Weekly "House of Furies digs its claws into you and won't let go; a mesmerizing, haunting, gorgeously written journey into the heart of darkness." -- Michelle Gagnon "Madeleine Roux's House of Furies is both thrilling and effortless, catapulting the reader forward through a labyrinth of gothic mystery, tantalization and suspense." -- Andrea Portes, author of Anatomy of a Misfit Reviews for the Asylum series -- ; "A strong YA debut that reveals the enduring impact of trauma and terror on a place." -- Publishers Weekly "A good choice for readers who enjoy books with scary situations that lead to a solid climax." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Horror readers and fans of the TV show American Horror Story will delight in its fast-paced plot." -- Booklist "Page-turning and visually creepy." -- Kirkus "Days after reading Asylum, I'm still haunted by the images that Madeleine Roux's words conjured. Brilliant!" -- New York Times bestselling author Zac Brewer "Madeleine Roux's Asylum takes the fondest dream of our collective nerdy childhood and handily turns it into the scariest collective nightmare." -- Tor.com "I started reading this one at my desk in broad daylight and still got goose bumps." -- Glamour "Seriously spooky." -- School Library Journal "With plentiful old photographs of carnival acts, Roux works the creepy verisimilitude that made Asylum such a page-turner. The haunted-house explorations are especially cinematic and spooky...Roux knows how to keep the action rolling and the reader hooked." -- Booklist
