Edgar Brim is a sensitive orphan who, exposed to horror
stories from his father as a young child, is afraid of
almost everything and suffers from nightly terrors. His
stern new guardian, Mr. Thorne, sends the boy to a gloomy
school in Scotland where his dark demons only seem to worsen
and he is bullied and ridiculed for his fears. But years
later, when sixteen-year-old Edgar finds a journal belonging
to his novelist father, he becomes determined to confront
his nightmares and the bullies who taunt him. After the
horrific death of a schoolmate, Edgar becomes involved with
an eccentric society at the urging of a mysterious professor
who believes that monsters from famous works of literature
are real and whose mandate is to find and destroy these
creatures. With the aid of a rag-tag crew of friends, the
fear-addled teen sets about on his dark mission, one that
begins in the cemetery on the bleak Scottish moors and ends
in a spine-chilling climax on the stage of the Royal Lyceum
Theatre in London with Henry Irving, the infamous and
magnetic actor, and his manager, Bram Stoker, the author of
the most frightening and sensational novel of the day,
Dracula. Can Edgar Brim truly face his terror and conquer
his fears?
