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.

I love that it's based off of an Edgar Allen Poe poem; that's a very interesting concept, and I want to see how the story is retold.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the reasons I want to read of Monsters and Madness is because it's a retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's writing. The other reason would be because I don't read too many creepy stories and I definitely should! I guess I'm just picky :p Thanks Beckie!
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds awesome! I always liked EAP and his short story, The Tell Tale Heart has been a big favorite :) thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway. Some books are meant to be read in print copy and this is one of them. Just look at that amazing cover art! Crossing fingers, toes and eyes! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe cover really intrigues me! At first, I thought the girl was levitating and it definitely made me look twice! If a book makes me look more than once at the cover, I just have to read it!
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allen Poe is the reason I want to read this story! My favorite Poe story is Fall of the Hpuse of Usher but I love TheBlack Cat too!

ReplyDeleteBecause I love all Poe stories!!
thank you :)
After reading Bethany Griffin's Masque of the Red Death retelling and Kelly Creagh's Nevermore series (at least the first two books, the third one's STILL not out :C), I'm intrigued by all Poe retellings, even if I don't love the original stories...

ReplyDeleteI've loved Poe since I was an adolescent - my mom had an old collection/anthology of his stories & poems. My favorite was The Balloon Hoax!! :)
First of all I love the cover and I love gothic. My favorite Poe story is The Tell-Tale Heart. I once memorized the story and gave my rendition for a project in English class.
ReplyDeleteI always liked The Pit and the Pendulem and The Raven.
ReplyDeleteI've read the Annabel Lee poem one day in English, and I really liked it, this book should be intereseting
ReplyDeleteThe Raven is my absolute favorite!
ReplyDeleteThe reason I want to read this book is mostly because of Edgar Allen Poe.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Poe is A Cask of Amontillado. It's frightening and kind of funny at the same time. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe cover of this is amazing and it makes me very intrigued to read the story
