BOOK SPOTLIGHT & REVIEW: Asylum III – Crowtree Manor By Matt Drabble

Asylum III – Crowtree Manor
By Matt Drabble
Genre: Thriller, Horror

Book Description

The next terrifying chapter in the multi award winning Asylum series. 13 tales of terror and the macabre all linked by a twisting arcing storyline that ties them all together.

It begins with an enticing invitation, a private preview for the first guaranteed haunted house tourist attraction.
Sceptical minds brought together in a building steeped in a bloody history, all with their own dark secrets to protect.

It had been a long time since this building was a private hospital and housed the most dangerous and deranged minds. Now it has a new owner and a new purpose

It is a house that feeds on darkness and only attracts the very worst in humanity. Stone floors and walls that have witnessed the brutality of man and has blood seeped into its very foundations.

The doors are open and the rooms are ready to receive its first guests, welcome to Crowtree Manor.



My Review:


Once again, Matt Drabble hits another one out of the park! In my personal opinion, Mr. Drabble is the master of his genre, that being the genre of horror. This newest collection of vignettes within the Asylum structure is among his finest work. This series of gritty, edge-of-your-seat thrillers are rich in terror, featuring beautifully textured character development, a melodic flow of verbiage that approaches poetry, and a touch of the funny and absurd, all designed to create a picture of words in your mind that transcend the page.  I love his writings and look forward to every new chance I get to reading his latest offerings. I rate this book my highest accolades, five stars, but it deserves six! My recommendation: go grab this book and read it, post haste!
