“The author rewards fans with plenty of light in the finale…an emotionally ambitious series entry.”
— Kirkus Reviews

★★★★½ “As strong an effort as the first book in the series, with an added layer of maturity that is the perfect evolution for readers who have grown with the characters from middle grade to young adult fiction.”
— Self Publishing Review

★★★★ “Delivers everything a young adult novel should: an engaging and clever teen hero and an imaginative, fast-paced story with just enough punk attitude to sweep just about any young reader into turning the pages.”
— IndieReader

★★★★★ “This book kept me on edge! I could not wait to see how it was going to end. I felt like I was right there with them. Very good story telling by the author.”
— Dana L.M.

“Another original, deftly written, and inherently riveting read by an author with a genuine flair for solidly entertaining, character and narrative driven storytelling, Al Cassidy’s ‘Freeing Linhurst: Into the Tunnels’ is very highly recommended.”
— Midwest Book Review

Two years have passed since Jack Alexander and his best friend Celia slipped inside Linhurst State School and Hospital to uncover the truth beyond the abandoned walls. What the pair discovered was more than they had bargained for and their lives haven’t been the same since.

For 11th grader Jack, now saddled with the nickname “Ghost Boy” by his incredulous classmates, spending his days in therapy and fighting a recurring nightmare that haunts his dreams is more than he wants to deal with right now. All Celia wants is to move on from that fateful night and help her friend Jack in the process.

Just when it seems that life might be returning to normal, the Linhurst campus begins experiencing strange phenomena once again. Severely injured staff, mysterious writings on the wall, and the return of green flashes of light have Dr. Moseley (Mose) on high alert. Certain this is not the work of mere trespassing vandals, Mose hires a team of paranormal investigators to find the source of the disturbances—and Jack and Celia are thrown back into the world of ghosts and spirits. They must face this dark new curse that has gripped the former asylum.

After Celia is taken into the tunnels by a menacing force, it’s a race against the clock to free her and cage the energy that threatens the future of Linhurst.

Sequel to Freeing Linhurst, Into the Tunnels ratchets up the intensity and continues to explore the realm of paranormal at Linhurst State School and Hospital, a fictional institution based on Pennhurst State School and Hospital outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
