It takes place in the abandoned Northville Psychiatric Hospital near metro Detroit, a true setting that is legendary in the area. The hospital was recently demolished, and the novel's climax occurs during the demolition.
A series of blog posts on the book will be out this week, including —

The Werewolf trope over at Divination Hollows 'Asylums' as horror settings at Inkheist
and why Florence +the Machine's Howl offered inspiration at Char's Horror Corner
