"Miss Lucy is essential reading for anyone interested in Bram Stoker or his bestknown work Dracula. Orem, who is obviously knowledgeable about Stoker's life, and especially his work with the Lyceum Theatre, has created a haunting novel that explores possible origins. Anyone interested in Bram Stoker or Dracula must read Miss Lucy."--Carol Senf

"Orem delivers a fictionalized account of the life of Dracula author Bram Stoker and the incidents that led him to create one of literature's greatest monsters. . . A brilliant and imaginative tale of love, death, and literature."--KIRKUS REVIEWS
"A master-chef's layer-cake, Miss Lucy serves up delights for every taste. It's got Gothic nightmares to make the skin crawl, illuminating portraits of 19th-Century Dublin and London, X-ray insights into the workings of money and class, deft appropriations from a sumptuous library (Oscar Wilde, anyone?), and above all the tormented humanity of its central figure, Bram Stoker, author of Dracula. William Orem dreams Stoker to life with terrific vividness and subtlety, fluent in all the languages of late Victorian society. The story may, over a single long night riddled with shadows, travel from bejeweled aristocrats at the theater to the reeking slums that allowed Jack the Ripper to flourish. It offers a vision at once perverse and transcendent, a miracle that eludes the crush of history--a tour de force."--John Domini
