The mysterious death of one of America’s greatest writers has always been questioned in my mind until the fateful day of cracking the spine of Nevermore by Kelly Creagh.
This book sparked a page-turning psychological voyage into the world of esteemed writer Edgar Allan Poe. But this book isn’t just for Poe enthusiasts such as myself; this book has more to it than that. Never, would I have thought of a more brilliant storyline to keep me captivated during the duration of a sunny Saturday and well into a livid 2:30 a.m. on Sunday.
This story is layered with equal parts horror, humor and romance as readers voyage into the world of Poe, but with a modern twist.
The thick plot line of Nevermore follows goth and Poe enthusiast Varen and cheerleader and unlikely heroine Isobel; an unlikely duo paired up to work on a literature project.
Along the way, Isobel begins to realize that the world of Poe is more real than she thinks as she finds herself wrapped up in Varen’s world portrayed in a notebook, where the terrifying stories of Poe come to life.
She discovers the dark and troubled past of Poe and how dreams are more powerful than she realized. But will she be able to save herself and Varen from the shadows of his world?
This dark and suspenseful book had me locked down at the turn of page one. Never could I have imagined the world of Poe portrayed in such a complex and fascinating way. Creagh did not loose sight of the genius works of Poe as she weaved them into her own writing, creating one of the best books I have ever read.
I happen to be eagerly awaiting the release of the highly anticipated sequel, but little information is known about it yet, but I have a feeling that whatever bookshelves everywhere await, will not fail to disappoint.
