And trust me, there are quite a few teens who are, in fact, watching American Horror Story (though I would never recommend it). So where the TV show went all out to horrify and repulse, a book written for the YA reader simply could not and it just didn’t compare in terms of terror. In fact, my reading of Asylum was no doubt influenced by two important things: I had already ready Miss Peregrine and I had just finished watching the second season of American Horror Story: Asylum. I would definitely recommend this to fans of Miss Peregrine.
Perhaps, in part, because we are already familiar with Miss Peregrine and the photos used within its pages, but also perhaps because the photos here don’t have that same haunting quality as we find in Miss Peregrine.
The found photos help tell the story, but they didn’t resonate with me as richly as they did in Riggs book. If you are familiar with the novel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, you will be acclimated to the use of black and white photographs to enhace a book.
