Simon & Schuster is releasing The Devil's Scribe by Alma Katsu a new e-book short. Alma's debut novel The Taker was selected by the American Library Association as one of the top ten debut novels of 2011. It also made the extended bestsellers list in the UK.
After decades of running from her past, Lanore McIlvrae returns to America for the first time in 20 years to confront the source of her fear. The year is 1846 and Lanore—Lanny—has just landed in Baltimore after a long transatlantic crossing. That very night, she meets an “unattractive man with a high forehead and sunken eyes, and a tiny, pinched mouth like a parrot’s beak” who claims to write stories so dark and unsettling that he could be the Devil’s Scribe. His name? Edgar Allan Poe. Has Lanny finally met her match in this macabre man…or is it the other way around?
