MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH

Book ID/图书代码: 06814010B43894

English Summary/英文概要: Death is impossible and living is impossibly hard for 17-year-old Araby Worth in this sexy, post-Apocalyptic reimagining of Poe’s gothic horror story of the same name.

It’s 1870 and a deadly virus has decimated the population of North America. Masked corpse-collectors roam the streets, removing the bodies before the contagion can spread. Though Araby tries to escape it all with drugs and parties, even at her most intoxicated she can’t forget her brother’s death - or her guilt for causing it.

... but Araby’s greatest interest is that his plans will make protective masks available to all citizens and, in particular, to Will’s young siblings, whom she has come to love despite herself. But nothing is what it seems. A new contagion called the Red Death is sweeping the city and a shocking revelation about the origin of the new virus puts Araby’s life in danger.

The mob wants her. The rebels want her. And both boys want her. In this superb two-book series, what and who Araby chooses may just decide the fate of humanity ...

Chinese Summary/中文概要:

Awards/获奖情况:“Haunting and beautiful, disturbing and thoughtful, this is a book you’ll be thinking about well after the last page is turned.” (Melissa Marr, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked Lovely)

“Luscious, sultry and lingeringly tragic, this story has my heart. I can’t stop thinking about this tale of a broken world held together by corsets and clock gears. Araby’s voice stays with me even now, making me wary of the air I breathe.” (Lauren Destefano, author of WITHER)

“Bethany Griffin’s Masque of the Red Death is gorgeous, compelling, and achingly romantic.” (Suzanne Young, author of A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL)

About the Author/作者介绍: Bethany Griffin has always admired Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories. "The Masque of the Red Death," which this novel reimagines, is one of her favorites.

"I’ve always loved the amazing atmosphere Poe creates," she says. "But -The Masque of the Red Death’ is one of his shortest stories. I wanted to know more. I wanted characters and their stories within the context of this devastating plague. And that’s where this story originated." Bethany Griffin lives with her family in Kentucky.
