About this audiobook

The heart-stopping third book in the New York Times bestselling Asylum series follows three teens as they take a senior year road trip to one of America's most haunted cities, uncovering dangerous secrets from their past along the way. With all the thrills, chills, and eerie found photographs that led Publishers Weekly to call Asylum ""a strong YA debut,"" Catacomb is perfect for fans for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Sometimes the past is better off buried.

Senior year is finally over. After all they've been through, Dan, Abby, and Jordan are excited to take one last road trip together, and they're just not going to think about what will happen when the summer ends. But on their way to visit Jordan's uncle in New Orleans, the three friends notice that they're being followed . . . and photographed. Then Dan starts receiving messages from someone he didn't expect to hear from again—someone who died last Halloween.

When the trio arrives in New Orleans and the strange occurrences only escalate, Dan is forced to accept that everything that has happened to him in the past year may not be a coincidence, but fate—a fate that ties Dan to a group called the Bone Artists, who have a sinister fascination with notorious killers of the past.

Now Dan's only hope is that he will make it out of his senior trip alive.

Don't miss Madeleine Roux's all-new gothic horror novel, House of Furies.

    The third book in the series and it doesn't disappoint. Dan, Abby, and Jordan take a road trip to New Orleans and in there normal fashion it's not long before strange things happen. Filled with ghosts, bones, cults, and murder this book kept me wanting to stay up late reading.

    I liked this series. I would have liked more background information but it was fun to read.

    Dan, Abby & Jordan are headed to New Orleans to drop Jordan off with his uncle. It's a cross-country road trip as kind of "their last hurrah" before they all go to college. Of course, Dan is still trying to figure out his past and he is plagued by spooky messages. They are also being followed, and someone is photographing them... So, I think this is the final book in the Asylum trilogy (not counting all the novellas from the same world). I read the first two books a while ago and I don't remember many details from them. I glanced at my reviews and that helped a bit. I loved the first two, but this one was a bit disappointing - I didn't get the creepiness. It does wrap up a few mysteries about Dan's past. I don't know what else to say, I guess this one was just meh.

    Catacomb is the third book in the Asylum trilogy (there is also a collection of novellas and a prequel coming out next month). I won't be mentioning any spoilers besides character names and very vague references.Our three protagonists, Dan, Abby, and Jordan, are now going on a road trip together before they start college, and are hoping to leave behind all the terrifying, troubling events that have come before. But the asylum refuses to leave them alone, and has connections more far-reaching than they ever could have imagined.One of the things I've always enjoyed about this series is the way Roux uses old photographs to add to the story, and to amp up the always-present tension and general creepiness.The story also grabs you and doesn't let you go until you finish. I will regularly admit that the plot can come off as outlandish at times (and this is probably what keeps me from re reading the books once I've finished them), but what Roux does so well is make everything make sense within the world she has created. It's not the world we live-and trust me, that's a good thing with how scary it is-but it is the world Roux has created, and she makes it work.
