Publisher's Synopsis
The Tell-Tale Heart meets American Psycho.
The year is 1826, the atmosphere is insanity, the place is Richmond, Virginia. Edgar Allan Poe's muse is not his best friend's sister or the beautiful servant Athena, but his best friend who whispers to the dead. Edgar Allan Poe's most famous stories spring from the deranged mind of one soul, Kenneth Dahl. This is his story.
After four years spent in a psychiatric hospital, Kenneth Dahl returns home a cured man and is reunited with his twin sister who shares his evil eye. At home, Ken faces the same isolation he faced at the sanitarium, before forging a friendship with the servant Athena. Neither Athena nor his sister can help him when the voices come back.
