Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The sequel to Of Monsters and Madness from a New York Times best-selling author. Edgar Allan Poe and Annabel Lee return for more Gothic thrills in this mashup drawing on Frankenstein and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

"Madness most magnificent!" --The El Paso Times on Of Monsters and Madness

In mourning after the sudden death of her grandfather, Annabel Lee is devastated when her beau, Allan Poe, commits himself to an insane asylum to keep his second personality--callous serial killer Edgar--at bay. In need of distraction, she eagerly accepts her father's invitation to help with his medical experiments. But his scientific study is rapidly morphing into morbid obsession. And Annabel's own attempts to cure Allan are becoming morally questionable.

When Annabel begins receiving mysterious notes and then her father is kidnapped, she's left with little choice. She needs Edgar's help.

The pair tracks the letters back to the dashing and quite dangerous Dorian Gray, who seems to know all about Annabel's past. The secrets he reveals force her to make a decision that may make her the most monstrous of all.

This follow-up to Of Monsters and Madness deftly combines horror themes drawn from Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to create a chilling Gothic thriller for a new era.


Praise for Of Monsters and Madness:

"Madness most magnificent!" --The El Paso Times

"Verday offers a haunting portrait of a lonely, intelligent girl, while serving up gore and abundant references to classic Gothic horror stories. A monstrous mashup . . . inventive and engaging."--Kirkus Reviews

"Verday's novel is a quick read that hooks readers into the mysterious and gothic atmosphere of Annabel's Philadelphia. The plot is thrilling. . . . Annabel is a strong character."--School Library Journal

"[A] pleasing gothic romance and suspenseful mystery." --VOYA
