Blending historical fiction, horror, romance, and mystery, Dennard creates a roaring-and addictive-gothic world. In a swirling, rib-tickling story, Eleanor displays both good sense and the bravery to fight evil and remain free from the tyranny of high society. So Eleanor enlists the help of the Spirit-Hunters. And when she discovers that the Dead are rising in Philadelphia and wreaking havoc throughout the city, she knows that her brother is involved. Meanwhile, Eleanor’s mother is trying to marry her off to wealthy and connected Clarence Wilcox, but feisty Eleanor can’t shake her nagging feelings about him-or about a ragtag Spirit-Hunter genius named Daniel. Ex- Library Theres something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia.Eleanor Fitt has a lot to. Sixteen-year-old Eleanor Fitt’s brother is missing. Looking for answers, she sneaks off to find the Spirit-Hunters, a group of eccentric teenagers, at the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition. As the dead rise and acquaintances are murdered, Eleanor fears for Elijah’s life. Eleanor’s brother, Elijah, never returns home from New York City, instead sending a cryptic letter ripe for deciphering. In this first book in a trilogy, debut author Dennard deftly weaves together a vast plot involving social status, spirits, zombies, necromancy, romance, and pseudoscience. In Victorian-era Philadelphia, 16-year-old Eleanor Fitt worries more about “hungry and dangerous” reanimated corpses than about parasols and corsets.
