Dark Eden
by Patrick Carman
Publication Date: Nov 1st, 2011
From Goodreads:
Fifteen-year-old Will Besting is sent by his doctor to Fort Eden, an institution meant to help patients suffering from crippling phobias. Once there, Will and six other teenagers take turns in mysterious fear chambers and confront their worst nightmares—with the help of the group facilitator, Rainsford, an enigmatic guide. When the patients emerge from the chamber, they feel emboldened by the previous night’s experiences. But each person soon discovers strange, unexplained aches and pains. . . . What is really happening to the seven teens trapped in this dark Eden?
Patrick Carman’s Dark Eden is a provocative exploration of fear, betrayal, memory, and— ultimately—immortality.
What’s got me excited?
This book just sounds sooo creepy! As someone who has a couple of phobias that can occasionally be paralyzing a good scary book that gets it right can be both cathartic and a lot of fun. When I do get my hands on this book I plan to read it alone in the dead of night because with a release date the day after Halloween this book is primed for maximum scare.
Ah, this book, I’ve seen it~ It sounds really interesting and I can’t wait to read it <3 Great choice! Thank you for sharing!

Oh, no! Creepy world…and that Rainsford guy must really be a sadistic monster. Thanks for sharing!

Btw- I’m giving away an ARC of Legend and it ends tonight if you haven’t entered yet.
I’m a little obsessed with the idea of this book. I’ve had to hold myself back from watching all the videos about it because I want to read the story first and then watch it. I don’t want to already know the story before I get the book!
Great choice!
