About This Title:
Isis
by Douglas Clegg
Before she had ever heard the name of Harrow, the legendary house of horrors
of the Hudson Valley, she had already been possessed by the spirits of the dead.
Her name is Isis Claviger, and when she was nineteen, a highwayman from Hell
came for her soul and took her away into a dark realm of psyche and ecstasy.
An original novelette by Douglas Clegg, "Isis" is the first tale of
Isis Claviger, the oracle of Harrow.
"Isis" will be a unique Cemetery Dance book, with a smaller hardcover
design unlike anything we've done before. Please note that this is a novelette
so the story will be shorter than our novellas. Consider this a "mini-hardcover"
signed Limited Edition! More details will be posted closer to publication, but
given the small print run, we expect these to go fast!
Reviews & Praise:
"Clegg (The Abandoned) expands the burgeoning backstory of his
multivolume Harrow haunted house saga with this poignant chamber tragedy involving
young Iris Catherine Villiers (who, as an adult, will become Isis Claviger,
oracle of the spook-ridden Hudson Valley academy). One of four children growing
up on her family's Cornwall estate, Iris conveniently stumbles upon books of
occult lore in her grandfather's library shortly before beloved brother Harvey
dies while saving her life. Grief-stricken and guilt-ridden, Iris invokes a
resurrection ritual, and the devastating results show how the worst horrors
can grow out of misdirected love. This potent novella, one of Clegg's best,
is both a stand-alone triumph and a powerful new chapter in his evolving series."
