Product Description
by Nick James (Illustrator), Bryce Anderson (Author)
"...one could be forgiven for dismissing her as a rather dismal, unqualified heroine." Catherine Morland, an awkward young lady enchanted by gothic novels and their promise of adventure, finds those promises unexpectedly fulfilled. Her simple holiday to Bath has taken quite the turn, becoming a contest against vampires, hellhounds, supper invitations, and usuriously priced muslin. The reluctant Catherine takes up cross and stake to pursue the vampire-hunting trade in as ladylike a fashion as she can. But she is herself pursued by a blood drinker as enamoured of her as he is of history and architecture. When the amiable Henry Tilney requests her company at storied Northanger Abbey, the invitation promises an escape from mortal danger. But among the spires and columns of ancient Northanger, our heroine's hidden strength shall be pitted against perils unimagined. The scents of blood and blossoming romance mingle in the air. Will Catherine's adventure culminate in matrimony or in bloodshed? Jane Austen fans, keep a firm grip upon your crossbows. This is not the Northanger Abbey you remember.
Author Biography
Bryce Anderson, part man, part machine, all...ways typing stuff down on a computer. He mostly writes sci-fi and fantasy, but sometimes branches out into political rants, ransom notes, and passive-aggressive post-its. His first book, written at the age of six, told the story of an unspecified number of time traveling dinosaurs. For reasons which thirty-eight-year-old Bryce can't fully comprehend, six-year-old Bryce decided that the T. Rex was some kinda robot. When the dinosaurs emerged from their time travel vortex, fighter jets shot at them! That was the whole plot, and as far as Bryce was concerned, that was as much plot as it needed. Later books turned out better. He hopes. In an alternate dimension, Bryce rules over the five lunar colonies with an iron fist. In this one, he lives in Salt Lake City.
