Greyfriars Reformatory cover

"Greyfriars Reformatory delivers on suspense and a classic asylum setting that brings to mind novels like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest." — Chicago Review of Books

Nineteen year-old Emily's acute dissociative disorder causes her to be institutionalised - again - at Greyfriars Reformatory For Girls. Caught in the crossfire between brutal Principal Quick and cruel bully Saffron Chassay, Emily befriends fellow outcast Victoria. When the terrifying apparition of the mysterious ‘Grey Girl' begins scaring the inmates to death, Emily’s disorder may be the one thing that can save her.

"Greyfriars Reformatory delivers on suspense and a classic asylum setting that brings to mind novels like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The novel’s greatest strength, though, is pacing. The teen characters are three-dimensional, and the story is anchored by a strong sense of atmosphere." -- Chicago Review of Books
“This is the perfect example of an intense and terrifying horror-psychological suspense hybrid. It is fast paced but with enough detail to get you hooked on more than the plot.” -- Becky Spratford, RA For All
“Lee has proven time and time again that he can write some of the creepiest scenes out there and this one didn’t let me down […] If you love institutionally set horror, you’ll dig this.” -- Kendall Reviews
“This is my idea of a great horror novel; scary moments, bloody scenes and the ‘Grey Girl’ reminds me a lot of ghostly characters in Japanese books.” -- The Book Lovers Boudoir
"The perfect read for any horror and supernatural fans looking for area to get under there skin, I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next!" -- The Twist and Turn Book Blog
"The story took such an unexpected and clever turn, while still making every little piece of the puzzle slot into place, and I was reeling." -- From Belgium with Book Love
“I loved this book - it has lashings of bleak Gothic horror, strongly drawn characters and a claustrophobic atmosphere, but the story is grounded in acts of injustice and betrayal which see disturbingly realistic and which have a terrible impact on all here.” -- Blue Book Balloon
“Frazer Lee has created a horror story that lingers in my head. His fantastic world-building and characters made it so believable and I really didn’t want to leave Emily and the girls there.” -- Sharon Beyond the Books
