    About this ebook

    Edgar Allan Poe... haunted... dark... mysterious... time traveler?

    A timeless nightmare stalks both the day and night. It’s taken everything from Poe, compelling the man to traverse time itself in search of a savior.

    Reynolds, a man broken by tragedy, and Clara, a woman who’s lost so much in her young life are thrust together by the enigmatic Poe to aid his quest. Will the two succeed in hunting the most cunning of history’s greatest monsters? Or will they become the hunted?

    Meanwhile in Europe, Byron and Mary work relentlessly in creating a monster of their own, for the purpose of eradicating such an evil. But have they gone too far? And what consequences have they wrought upon this world?

    The Strange is a place where history meets fiction and the two dance delightfully to the calliope of the supernatural, science fiction, mystery, horror and suspense.

    JB Murray

    Poised to write since learning the alphabet, rural New Englander JB Murray crafts prose like the way he devours literature: with his dog by his side, a scotch in his hand, and a cigar smoldering in an ashtray. Aspiring to be a full-time author, Murray nurtures his creative energy by consuming a vast array of literature; studying as if he were an apprentice of the great Edgar Allen Poe. He balances his life by carving out time for his musical ventures, spending time with family and friends, enjoying nature, and the occasional Netflix binge.

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who
