Luella Miller Revisited

It's the early years of the twentieth-century and Edgar Allen Poe is undergoing a renewed popularity when a young and ambitious Baltimore journalist is sent to the provinces by his editor in search of a story likely to satisfy the need for sensation craved by his newspaper's circulation. What he uncovers is a tale of murder, depravity, sadism and perversion on the Eastern Seaboard that will not only require sanitizing to be made palatable for his editors readers, but will impact upon his life in a way that will leave the charge of it in the hands of another.
That other being an extremely depraved female steeped in the perversities of her great-aunt and a dominant woman from his native Baltimore he has yet to even meet, let alone desire. A desire, when he does get to meet her, that will end his life as he knows it. Believable dark romance and female-led fiction, inspired by the classic Russian fiction of the nineteenth and early-twentieth-century, for those with a passion for tales from earlier periods offering a different perspective to the morality, expectations, and social mores of the present.
Sandrine Bessancort is the pen-name of a French-born and Honfleur based legal-professional with a passion for the re-imagining of antique tales with a female-led slant that include: "The Parasite Revisited" and the "A Scandal in Bohemia... and Worse!".
