Of Monsters and Madness-Jessica Verday

A romantic, historical retelling of classic Gothic horror featuring Edgar Allan Poe and his character Annabel Lee, from a New York Times best-selling author.

Summoned to her father's home in 1820's Philadelphia, a girl finds herself in the midst of a rash of gruesome murders in which he might be implicated. She is torn romantically between her father's assistants-one kind and proper, one mysterious and brooding-who share a dark secret and may have more to do with the violent events than they're letting on.



This was an amazing read. I loved everything about it. The main character Annabelle Lee was delightful and she drew you into the story wonderfully. I found in this book a sweet romance and a mystery that I was not expecting. Stories about Edgar Allen Poe have been told for years, but you will never find another one quite like this. Just wonderful.
