- Synopsis
- " READER, I BURIED HIM . " A timeless tale of love, devotion . . . and the undead. Jane Slayre, our plucky demon-slaying heroine, a courageous orphan who spurns the detestable vampyre kin who raised her, sets out on the advice of her ghostly uncle to hone her skills as the fearless slayer she's meant to be. When she takes a job as a governess at a country estate, she falls head-over-heels for her new master, Mr. Rochester, only to discover he's hiding a violent werewolf in the attic--in the form of his first wife. Can a menagerie of bloodthirsty, flesh-eating, savage creatures-of-the-night keep a swashbuckling nineteenth-century lady from the gentleman she intends to marry? Vampyres, zombies, and werewolves transform Charlotte Brontë's unforgettable masterpiece into an eerie paranormal adventure that will delight and terrify. Featuring a Gallery Books Readers Guide. Rochester's first wife, a violent werewolf he keeps locked in the attic, goes on a rampage and thwarts their plans. Fleeing to the countryside and taking a new name, Jane is taken in by her cousins and begins her course of study with the brusque St. John, a master slayer and steampunk inventor. But still, Jane yearns for Rochester. Will she resist her cousin's pleas to embark with him on a mission to rid India of its rapidly increasing vampire population...or is her desire to see Rochester, despite the danger, too strong to ignore?
