From the back of the book:
In this brilliant historical novel, Marie Kiraly takes us back in time - to a dark and lonely night when a writer named Edgar Allan Poe receives a mysterious visitor. Her name is Pamela, and her son has been stolen away by a memeber of her husband's family. They are descendants of the infamous Ushers, whose strange history inspired Poe's most chilling tale. Moved by the mother's loss, Poe agrees to help Pamela. Thus begins his own descent into the maelstrom, where the master storyteller comes face-to-face with the woman he immortalized...and learns that Madeline's secret is as dark and twisted as the House of Usher itself.
