I'd finished this sometime last year but I can't remember when, so I'm marking it as today. 
 Long story short, this book had some good things and bad things with it. The idea of having a school in an old asylum was pretty interesting and it really spoke to the part of me that loves looking around in old buildings in general. However the issue I had with this book is that it relies far too much on the pictures to set the mood, something that I felt hampered similar books of this nature. The pictures were neat, but at some point I just got really irritated with the idea because too much emphasis was on making sure that we looked at the pictures, as I got the impression that the book relied on them far too much to impart any creepiness or tension. 
 On a separate gripe, I also felt irritated that these books try to say that the pictures were all real and only edited slightly. I'd rather someone make a picture from scratch than for them to pick a genuine older picture that's only slightly creepy, all in the name of them trying to make it all seem more genuine. Sometimes the pictures in this book didn't really feel as creepy as they were meant to be and it came across as a little forced. 
 This isn't a terrible book by any means, but it really didn't have as much impact as it could have had. Maybe that's because I'm far older than the intended market, but I have a feeling that even some of the target age groups would feel the same way. This is a library book all the way.
