The Haunting of Kenmore Asylum: Inspired by real events

Award-winning Australian horror author, JJ Carpenter, brings real Australian history to life with this gothic, supernatural horror set in Australia's most notoriously haunted asylum.

1910

The mentally unwell are considered dangerous and a blight to be kept hidden from family and society. The recently opened Kenmore Asylum is bursting at the seams. Amidst the churn, Nurse Harriet tries to make a real impact on her charges. But one of them, Alice, seems beyond anyone’s help…

1950s

Bonnie is a fresh, determined nurse trainee, out to prove herself and make her way into the world. But nothing is as she expected when the shadows are rife with the spirits of those who haven’t walked the halls of Kenmore in a very long time.

2021

The notoriously haunted Kenmore Asylum stands abandoned behind an easily circumnavigated fence. YouTube ghost hunters Aiden and Devin seek fame and fortune behind its walls—but something else just might find them first.

I am always there.

Perhaps I always have been?

Perhaps there is no end for me …

Inspired by true events and factual accounts of life at Kenmore Asylum, Goulburn, Australia.
