  • "A gloriously engaging and terrifying new historical thriller from the New York times bestselling author of Terror. On June 9, 1865, while traveling by train to London with his secret mistress, 53-year-old Charles Dickens--at the height of his powers and popularity, the most famous and successful novelist in the world and perhaps in the history of the world--hurtled into a disaster that changed his life forever."@en
  • "In the course of narrowly escaping death in an 1865 train wreck and trying to rescue fellow passengers, Charles Dickens encounters a ghoulish figure named Drood, who had apparently been traveling in a coffin. Along with novelist friend Wilkie Collins, who narrates the tale, Dickens pursues the elusive Drood, an effort that leads the pair to a nightmarish world beneath London's streets. Collins begins to wonder whether the object of their quest, if indeed the man exists, is merely a cover for his colleague's own murderous inclinations."
