Generation Annihilation

Description

For seventeen-year-old Shaun Treadway, fear is a way of life. Traumatized by his abusive stepfather, he is so afraid that he’ll kill his mother that he decides to kill him first—by setting fire to his childhood home with his stepfather asleep inside. But what Shaun doesn’t know is that saving his mother’s life might very well cost him his own.

Fleeing Baltimore to his mother’s hometown in West Virginia, he hides out in his family’s isolated cabin. Except the small town of Blackthorn Peak is anything but welcoming. The streets are deserted, there is no sign of life, and at the end of Main Street is the creepiest abandoned building he’s ever seen: Blackthorn Peak Lunatic Asylum.

Investigating the grounds, Shaun meets the mysterious Cass, who seems to disappear in the blink of an eye. Who is she, and why is she here? Why does she keep warning him to leave?

Unable to resist his curiosity, Shaun decides to explore the asylum’s twisting labyrinth of halls. But what he discovers is something dark and sinister. Uncovering the secrets that Cass keeps just might cost him his life.
