The Whitechapel Full Moon Society

A Novel

De: Elizabeth DeLozier

Set in Victorian London during Jack the Ripper’s reign of terror, this gripping, original novel is perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab, Dana Schwartz, and Sarah Penner.

When Caroline Foster arrives at the Whitechapel Full Moon Society in search of her missing brother, she finds a dilapidated façade belying an interior as opulent as any exclusive gentlemen’s club. In exchange for room and board, Caroline is hired as the Full Moon’s maid, where she is given three orders: don’t ask personal questions, stay out of the iron-barred room on the second floor, and remain in her bedroom from sunup to sundown on the full moon.

But when it is revealed that the previous maid was murdered—an early victim of Jack the Ripper—and her brother has left behind no answers, only more questions, Caroline begins to suspect her hosts might be hiding something. As more bodies turn up with a connection to the Society, Caroline fears she may have unwittingly stumbled into a bedtime story, the kind with monsters and curses, family secrets and ancient lore.

Tantalizing and pulsing, Elizabeth DeLozier’s sophomore novel gives an exciting alternative look into the infamous Jack the Ripper story with a major, supernatural twist.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Whitechapel Full Moon Society manages, like its own members, to be many things at once: it's as propulsive as a thriller, as dreamy as a poem, as seductive as a beckoning finger. It's dark alleys, dried blood, rustling silk, and bittersweet letters from lost kin. I stayed up all night to read this one."
—Emma Törzs, author of Ink Blood Sister Scribe

"DeLozier's beautiful prose carries us to a gritty, vibrant, utterly convincing Victorian England, and a possible answer to the age-old mystery of Jack the Ripper. It's a compelling tale of tragedy and triumph, love lost and found, and the courage of a brave girl alone in a time full of terror, all during a day when well-bred young women were expected to be chaperoned at every moment. A great read!"
—Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches

“An enthralling journey into the dark heart of Victorian London, The Whitechapel Full Moon Society is an exquisitely rendered world of locked rooms and enigmatic characters. It was a treat to keep pace with Caroline, our exciting heroine, as she raced to against time to unravel the insidious and many-layered mystery. I found the story suspenseful and satisfyingly macabre, with smart grounding in the ancient lore of Britain. Fans of Weyward will be pulled right in!”
—Anna Rasche, author of The Stone Witch of Florence
