INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Carey, Edward

Lungdon

(3) 4-6 Iremonger series. In the trilogy finale, a fearful epidemic runs rampant through Victorian London, causing people to turn into everyday objects, and a creepy family makes a last stand to seize power. Journal-like entries from multiple narrators and expert use of dialogue create a multifaceted cast of characters. Carey's macabre black-and-white portraits, reminiscent of Edward Gorey, enhance the unsettling tone.
