Summary

A serial killer obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe, a traumatized young woman who survives his horrific violence, and a disgraced detective face off in this dark and devious tale of murder and revenge.

After the “accident” that takes his parents’ lives, young Daemon Ultrecht escapes into the nightmarish stories of Edgar Allan Poe. His obsession intensifies, inking his body with the inhabitants from his “mentor’s” macabre tales—until he becomes “Poe,” a psychotic killer, penning his own terrifying stories born from the ashes of his murderous deeds.

Poe’s first victim is 21-year-old Clara Knox, an “Irish beauty” who survives his sadistic attack, a brutality that scars her body but inflicts even deeper psychological wounds. Driven by rage and revenge, she seeks to destroy the monster that has shattered her life, seducing PJ Bones into her twisted plan. The disgraced former NYPD detective turned best-selling author finds himself helpless against Clara’s dives into madness and then her betrayal.

The lives of all three converge in chilling fashion as they plunge headlong into the maddening, where there is no escape from the looming destiny that awaits them.
