Poe: Living Tomb is alive and screaming....
​​
Book Five in the Poe Series has crawled out of a shallow grave in time to haunt your bookshelf on Friday the 13th of March, a cursed release day for a cursed book. This book is a long time coming and was one of the toughest I've ever written, but well worth the wait and the lost sleep. Writing this monster sometimes felt like digging my way out of a grave, but I'm incredibly proud of the result and can honestly say this is my favorite Poe book to date and some of my best work. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Got your shovel? Let's start digging.
Ms. Martens succeeds at painting dark, suspenseful, sometimes horrific pictures. It is the kind of psychological horror that locking the doors and windows and reading with the lights on will not keep out.
