After the loss of her fiancé, Alex, psychiatrist Dr. Maya Taylor flees her old life for a temporary position at the reopened Blackstone Asylum—a crumbling institution where reality itself seems to bend. Blackstone’s corridors are alive with secrets: patients speak in riddles, staff walk shadows, and Maya’s grief finds uncanny echoes in the building’s hungry silence. Her patients include Sarah, haunted by visions of a mournful woman in white; John, tangled in paranoia; and Elijah, a soft-spoken young man whose abilities blur the line between madness and medium. As Maya's memories surface, she realizes Blackstone is not only haunted—it is sentient, feeding off the pain and secrets of those within. Disturbing phenomena escalate: voices whisper in the walls, rooms shift and breathe, and Maya’s own past—her missing brother, Alex’s murder—entangles with the institution’s sinister history. When a lockdown traps the staff and patients inside, Maya must face the truth: some darkness cannot be escaped, and some houses do not stay shut, even when the doors are locked. Blackstone Asylum becomes a mirror, forcing Maya to confront the shadows she’s carried since childhood. The line between sanity and surrender blurs as the true horror reveals itself: the darkness isn’t just in the asylum—it’s inside Maya, waiting for its homecoming. Atmospheric, psychological, and unsettling, this novel brings urban supernatural horror into the heart of a crumbling city and the fractured mind of a grieving doctor. In Blackstone, trauma is currency, grief is nourishment, and not all who leave are ever truly free.

Behind every haunted hallway and whispered rule, there’s a deeper story Blackstone Asylum refuses to surrender. This companion novel, BLACKSTONE ASYLUM: SIDE STORIES, brings together the hidden journals, lost memories, and confessions that never made it into the official record—a fragmented tapestry of obsession, fear, and human survival. From the chilling confessions of Marcus Thorne, the architect who designed Blackstone as both memorial and labyrinth, to the desperate first days of Nurse Reeves as she discovers the true cost of learning the rules, these stories illuminate the shadows that hover just beyond the main narrative. The walls themselves seem to breathe, rewriting blueprints and erasing the memories of anyone who comes too close to discovering Blackstone’s secrets. Each side story reveals the unseen tragedies behind the institution’s mythos: a patient who vanishes without explanation and the nurse forced to forget; an investigator whose reality is mangled by the asylum’s hunger for silence; and a soul who becomes part of the building itself, watching and welcoming new arrivals. But these tales are not self-contained. To truly grasp the darkness and meaning behind these confessions, readers must first experience the main novel: BLACKSTONE ASYLUM. Only then will you understand the threads connecting vanished children, staff complicity, and forbidden rules; only then will every motif—the lullaby, the toy house, the Mourner—reveal its true resonance. BLACKSTONE ASYLUM: SIDE STORIES is a doorway into the lost and forbidden corners of Blackstone. Step through, if you dare—but don’t say it out loud. Some rules exist for your own survival.
