BELOW THE GRAND HOTEL
The Great Gatsby meets Hellraiser in this 1920s horror novel of glitz, glamor, and demons.
​
Mabel Rose Dixon will do anything to become a Ziegfeld girl—including picking the pockets of the wealthy NYC elite to fund her way to stardom. When she picks the wrong pocket, Mabel loses her soul to a hotel run by demons and tumbles into the world of The Grand Hotel, a place where any artist can make it big.
​
Mabel’s greatest wish to be famous is granted. Every night, she performs as the starring act to a crowded theater and finds she is never without patrons. But Mabel quickly learns that losing her soul to get everything she ever wanted comes at a much steeper cost than what she bargained for. She must steal her soul back before the Grand’s annual May’s Eve Ball or become a demon herself forever.
​
With stylish art deco design and beautiful illustrations by the author, this stunning debut novel by renowned New England artist Cat Scully is a crown jewel for the dark gothic horror lover’s collection. Welcome to The Grand Hotel. We hope you enjoy your stay.

"JENNIFER STRANGE is a gruesomely fun, demon-infested YA romp in which two teenage sisters learn and ply the family's secret demon-fighting trade.
A promising debut."
- Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Survivor Song
Praise & Reviews
“This debut novel is overflowing with sardonic wit and memorably feisty (and satisfyingly angry) female protagonists...It’s clear this is a story that has more to come, and horror buffs will happily anticipate the next volume.”
- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"A mysterious, dark, and perfectly bone-chilling tale of self-discovery and seizing your destiny, Jennifer Strange is a tremendous addition to young adult horror... I couldn't recommend it more."
- Amy Lukavics, author of Daughters Unto Devils and The Ravenous
