Nevermore - Kelly Creagh

Descriere Nevermore - Kelly Creagh

A page-turning psychological mystery that is equal parts horror, humor, and romance, Nevermore is the story of Varen--a Poe fan and Goth--and Isobel--a cheerleader and unlikely heroine. \nAnd the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting \nOn the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; \nAnd his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, \nAnd the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; \nAnd my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor \nShall be lifted - nevermore! \n-- from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe \nAt once an homage to one of America's greatest writers and a page-turning psychological mystery that is equal parts horror, humor, and romance, NEVERMORE is the story of Varen -- a Poe-fan and goth -- and Isobel -- a cheerleader and unlikely heroine. When a Lit. project pairs the two together, Isobel finds herself steadily swept into Varen's world, one that he has created in his notebook and in his mind, one where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel slowly learns that dreams can be much more powerful than she'd ever expected, and that pain and despair come in all shades. As labels of goth and cheerleader fade away, she sees more in Varen than a tall, pale outcast, and a consuming romance is braced against the ever-clearer horror that the most terrifying realities are those within our own minds. \n \nWhen Isobel has a single chance to rescue Varen from the shadows of his own nightmares, will she be able to save him -- and herself?\n
