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.
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.
