OF MONSTERS AND MADNESS

Jessica Verday

Inspired by the Gothic classics The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, Jessica Verday’s new trilogy Of Monsters and Madness seamlessly blends horror and romance.
It’s the story of Annabel Lee – a young girl raised by a single mother in Siam in the 1820’s who is shipped off to live with her father in Philadelphia after her mother’s death and discovers that not all is well in the City of Brotherly Love.

Forced to use the gifts of her unconventional upbringing to fight the evil that lurks in the growing metropolis, Annabel encounters literary luminaries from Edgar Allan Poe (whose stories may be inspired by more than just a great imagination) to Dorian Gray (whose wicked charm belies an even darker secret.) But the greatest mystery of all may be the motivations of her haunted father, whose basement lab holds the secrets to her past.

Jessica Verday is the New York Times bestselling author of The Hollow trilogy. A life-long book lover, and avid reader, Jessica wrote her first story when she was eleven. If she could have superpowers, she'd want X-Ray vision and the ability to make cupcakes appear out of thin air. She believes that a shoe isn't a shoe unless it has a heel. And nothing beats a killer pair of boots. When not daydreaming about moving into a library of her own, she can be found working on her next story, redecorating her office or buying vintage furniture.
