by Gregory L. Norris (Author)

POESSESSED!

Two centuries ago, the master of Gothic literature, Edgar Allan Poe, dreamed unforgettable dark visions of the macabre and tragic. Today, six of his most famous poems and stories are reimagined in modern settings steeped in despair.

• Len: 1965, secret, doomed love blossoms in a seaside Rhode Island college town.
• Usher Falls: With the world coming apart at the start of a deadly pandemic, a young woman travels to the remote country house of a childhood friend-a brooding manor perched atop waterfalls wherein even greater danger lurks.
• Dearest Berenice: A man tortured by his past and a shaky grip on reality weds and returns to the family estate unaware that the mysteries surrounding his birth are being exhumed by sinister forces.
• The Red Death Mask: With the Crimson Death burning across the globe, the self-appointed chosen ones barricade behind fortress walls believing themselves safe.
• Oblong: A reporter travels by train to interview a famous artist who once painted a portrait in his own blood-and might have delved even deeper for his latest masterpiece.
• The Conquering Worm: An actor dying of cancer sacrifices all for one final performance in a dilapidated Baltimore theater haunted by phantoms and prowled by a ravenous evil.

A Dream Within a Dream: six tales draped in shadows and inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Dream on if you dare!
