Annabel Lee: The Story of a Woman, Written By Herself by Christopher Conlon


Annabel
Lee:
The
Story of a Woman, Written By Herself
by
Christopher Conlon


Genre:
Historical Gothic

Everybody
knows Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee”—but who was she really?
In this haunting and evocative novel, Christopher Conlon (“one of
the preeminent names in contemporary literary horror”—
Booklist)
imagines a life for one of literature’s most renowned characters.
Hers is a chronicle even more thrilling, doom-haunted, and tragic
than Poe himself could have conceived, for here Annabel Lee tells her
own story in her own words…for the first time.








Christopher
Conlon (b. 1962) is best known as the editor of the Bram Stoker
Award-winning anthology "He Is Legend" (Gauntlet/Tor), a
tribute to author Richard Matheson which was reprinted by the Science
Fiction Book Club and in multiple foreign translations. His novel
"Savaging the Dark" was included in Booklist's "Top
Ten: Horror" for 2015 (starred review) and acclaimed by Paste
Magazine both as one of the 21 Best Horror Books of the 21st Century
and as one of the 50 Best Horror Novels of All Time. Two of his
earlier novels, "Midnight on Mourn Street" and "A
Matrix of Angels," were finalists for the Stoker Award, and he
has written numerous collections of stories and poems along with two
full-length stage plays. A former Peace Corps Volunteer, Conlon holds
an M.A. in American Literature from the University of Maryland and
lives in the Washington, DC area.
