Description

Ghost hunters Daniel and Chad are no strangers to the shadows, but their latest assignment pushes their nerves—and their relationship—to the breaking point. As hosts of the hit vlog Dan’s Hauntastic Haunts, the duo has tackled countless specters, yet the abandoned Joliet Asylum harbors a malevolence that defies explanation. Thick with the echoes of historical suffering and oppressive energy, the facility forces the pair to confront not just the restless dead, but the lingering trauma of their own histories. As Daniel and Chad delve into the asylum’s dark archives, they discover that some horrors are more deeply rooted in humanity than the afterlife. Amidst spectral encounters, creeping otherworldly flora, and the intense pressure of keeping their show alive, the men must steady each other against the weight of their pasts. Blending high-stakes paranormal investigation with an intimate, evolving romance, this journey is as much about healing internal wounds as it is about laying spirits to rest. Between the supernatural mysteries and the vulnerability of their connection, Daniel and Chad find that their love is the only anchor strong enough to survive the madness of Joliet Asylum. Can they pull back the veil on this tragic site, or will its secrets consume them both?

A Fun Little Jaunt Through A Dark Topic

As usual, Mr. Silver's work is to the brain what fresh cookies are to the mouth. In this case there's a sharp spice of difficult social reckoning with our history in the mental health and LGBT marginalization through the lens of institutional treatment, via the setting of an asylum. In spite of the setting, it's a sweet, affirming treat where goodness triumphs and heartlessness earns what it deserves: exactly the kind of treat Silver fans have come to expect.

4.5 stars

This book offers an immersive combination of the eerie/scary/otherworldly (fitting, in a decrepit asylum with a complicated history). Chad and Daniel are each deeply interesting characters, and it’s rewarding to watch them together. There’s a complex investigation to navigate, some baggage to unpack, and it’s all compellingly done— fans of the series (and a gentle note here that this is part of a series and it’s a good idea to start at the beginning if you haven’t already) will find a lot to appreciate in this installment. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
