The Academy First edition

He's a good puppet, he does what they say, but he's programmed for terror, and someone will pay!

From legendary horror writer John A. Russo comes The Academy. It's every parent's dream, turning their little darlings into geniuses, super-achievers, perfect little children.

And if there's a problem, the Academy fixes that, too. It's a simple operation. Just a little device. Then a teeny pink scar on a tender little skull?

One boy knows the secret. Now he wants his mind back. But it's much, much too late. Too late for anything but the ugly feelings. The bad feelings. The messy sexy feelings. The knife-cold hatred, the murderous rage, for total screaming, blood-drenching revenge?

Get ready to enroll in THE ACADEMY.

Publisher's note: this is an updated and enhanced edition of the John Russo's 1985 book DAY CARE.
