![]() Delia has been reading pen-pal letters by her late great-aunt Cordelia in regards with the asylum Cordelia, before her death, said in her letters that she has lived in Hysteria Hall all throughout her entire life and there are multiple ghosts of the deceased patients (all female) wandering around. As they arrived, it turns out that the building was really an 1800s mental asylum for mentally unstable women and many of the patients have died there. The plot is focused on the main character Delia Pevin who was inherited a large building by her deceased great-aunt Cordelia and her family traveled there for the entire summer to spend some time there. It may be creepy and dark albeit it is worth a read for those who are avid horror readers. I admire Alender’s work in her young adult novel. Reading one of her novels “The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall” is truly thrilling the vividness within the story had so much suspense, it was hard for me to put the book down for only one second. Katie Alender’s taste and style when it comes to writing horror books with ghosts and phantoms really brought out the chills within my spine. ![]() ![]() Publishing: Point, Imprint of Scholastic, Inc. ![]() The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall, Katie Alender ![]()
