POESSESSED! A Dream Within a Dream: six tales draped in shadows each inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

Two centuries ago, the master of Gothic literature, Edgar Allan Poe, dreamed unforgettable dark visions of the macabre and tragic. Today, six of his most famous poems and stories are reimagined in modern yet gothic settings steeped in despair.

Len: 1965—secret, doomed love blossoms in a seaside Rhode Island college town.

Usher Falls: With the world coming apart at the start of a deadly pandemic, a young woman travels to the remote country house of a childhood friend—a brooding manor perched atop waterfalls wherein even greater danger lurks.

Dearest Berenice: A man tortured by his past with a shaky grip on reality weds and returns to the family estate unaware that the mysteries surrounding his birth are being exhumed by sinister forces.

The Red Death Mask: With the Crimson Death burning across the globe, the self-appointed chosen ones barricade behind fortress walls believing themselves safe.

Oblong: A reporter travels by train to interview a famous artist who once painted a portrait in his own blood—and might have delved even deeper for his latest masterpiece.

The Conquering Worm: An actor dying of cancer sacrifices all for one final performance in a dilapidated Baltimore theater haunted by phantoms and prowled by a ravenous evil.

Dream on if you dare!

Also by Gregory L. Norris: THE LOST CITY OF BOOKS New Adult Novel:
“To understand the world as it is now, you have to know what it was like then…“

It’s been thirty years since the Redactions, when the books and knowledge were burned up, and those responsible seized control. Since, the Redactors have maintained an ever-tightening grip on the survivors unlucky enough to live in the ghettos surrounding their stronghold in the Core of Saturn City and who exist mostly unaware that their lives serve a far more sinister purpose-all save Palermo Bistany, a young man burdened with secrets. Palermo wears the disguise of oppressed women, who’ve been made invisible by the puppets in the People’s Free Republic. On the morning of the Mother’s Day Massacre when hearts were broken and blood spilled, he escaped the cranial data port implant forced on everyone else that connects them to the Grey F.O.G. Most dangerous and deadly, Palermo knows the truth: not all of the books were lost during the Redactions. They were sent to Bibliopolis, the Lost City of Books, for protection and retrieval in a time after the Dark Age of the Redactors ends. The Redactors will do anything to find Bibliopolis and destroy it. IF Palermo can locate the Lost City of Books first-and survive-he might just change the world and lead it out of darkness.
