- Reading
- If the frightening premise gives your reader pause, look over the opening together and check how the danger is presented before deciding whether to continue independently.
- Themes
- Supernatural explanations and suspicion: The Hardy Boys investigate possible hauntings; a psychic claims contact with a spirit, while a cafeteria worker is also a possible suspect. The setup keeps supernatural and human explanations in play rather than establishing either as true.
- Danger to the inmates: Many inmates at the detention centre appear to be dying from terror. This is a frightening threat in the premise, but its presentation does not establish whether it is graphic or how it is resolved.
- Worth knowing
- The briefing says many inmates appear to be dying from terror, and places the investigation in a former asylum. Consider whether this frightening premise may be unsettling for your reader.
