Of Monsters and Madness by Jessica Verday 276 pages
Annabel Lee is summoned from Siam to live with her father in 1820's
Philadelphia shortly after her mother's death, but an unconventional
upbringing makes her repugnant to her angry, secretive father. Annabel
becomes infatuated with her father's assistant Allan, who dabbles in
writing when he's not helping with medical advancements. But in darker
hours, when she's not to be roaming the house, she encounters the
devilish assistant Edgar, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Allan, and
who others insist doesn't exist.
A rash of murders across
Philadelphia, coupled with her father's strange behavior, leads Annabel
to satisfy her curiosity and uncover a terrible truth: Edgar and Allan
are two halves of the same person - and they are about to make the
crimes detailed in Allan's stories come to life. Unless Annabel stops
them.
