Narrative As Books The Devil's Scribe (The Taker Trilogy #1.5)

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?

I must give warning.......this is a short story, so things are bound to happen quickly and be rather, well, short. For this review I'll just divide this is two. ^.^:What I LikedWell, I really like Alma Katsu's writing for some reason. She has me rather hooked! I loved how she blended Edgar Allen Poe into Lanny's story. It made me smile and chuckle, even though this story was slightly on the darker side.Which, whilst speaking of it, was another reason this book caught my interest. It has a small

I love Alma Katsu's mastery of gothic language. This very short, 19 page novella is simply a prime example of it. It is so dark and gothic, it actually reminded me of some of the classics of Henry James, the Bronte sisters, ect that I devour. I loved this and it simply whet my desire for the new book, The Reckoningcoming out in June.

Great novella by Alma Katsu. Lanny's story is truly amazing and I'm so excited to start reading "The Reckoning"!

Don't know that this short story would make sense if it did not follow The Taker. However, read in succession, it's a wonderful addition!

Super short novella. But I loved it! Lanore returns to the US and meets a famous literary character. Interesting.... Waiting for the second book in the trilogy.

I understand this is just a short novella, but I don't feel it really added anything to the story. I kept waiting for something interesting/surprising to happen...but it didn't.

Wow I never thought I would say this about an Alma Katsu book but I was disappointed. Firstly this is the shortest novella I have ever read (around 25 pages NOT 50 as mentioned in the book description). And to be honest it added nothing to the overall storyline.The story gives a minuscule glimpse of Lanore revisiting the house in Boston after she left Adair there (20 years earlier), and during this trip she meets a slightly creepy character (Edgar) who describes himself as the Devil's Scribe
