Description
Three Can Keep A Secret If Two of Them Are Dead.
"In 1998, conservationists discovered 1200 bones buried in Benjamin Franklin's Craven Street home. While most assumed these came from medical/anatomy studies...I wondered if a more sinister explanation was afoot." -Marie Lestrange, Author
In the shadow of Benjamin Franklin's elite circles, Philadelphia 1739 is gripped by a series of grisly deaths, weaving a tale so dark it can only be whispered along the gaslit cobblestones. This masterful Gothic Thriller is a mesmerizing blend of historical nuance and chilling suspense, where love intertwines with deceit, and murder stains the street.
At the center of this mystery is Charlotte, a young woman grappling with the violent loss of her mother. As the city's cobblestones run crimson with blood, she finds herself ensnared in a nightmarish realm of depraved cults and dark magic, uncovering a labyrinth of secrets that could spell doom for both she and her new enigmatic lover- Ben.
With echoes of ancient incantations and the sinister plot of a Luciferian cult lurking in the shadows, she must navigate a world where the occult and her own haunted past are inextricably linked.
Crimson Cobblestones is a riveting journey through a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, and the past is never truly buried. With a narrative as intoxicating as the prose itself, Marie Lestrange crafts a tale that echoes the twisted history of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the intricate mystery of What the Devil Knows by C.S. Harris, and the atmospheric gothicism of Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow.
Crimson Cobblestones is not just a book-it's an experience, a chilling dance with darkness that will leave you breathless until its shocking finale.
Advance Praise
"Easily the most twisted book I've ever read. Marie Lestrange has a gift for the macabre, and this intertwines American history and American horror as good as anything I've read. If you love horror, this is a book you need!" -Joel Brigham, Author and Editor
"Lestrange's novel introduces a mysterious serial killer linked to a rich family--which, though not necessarily a new concept, is a premise that ultimately will shock readers given the plot's depth." --BookLife Prize Critic's Report
"‘Crimson Cobblestone’ is an aberrant historical horror written by Marie Le Strange. She’s an extremely talented storyteller with the ability to keep you wondering who the dirty deeds had been done by. You will continue guessing through out and until the very end. I highly recommend adding this to any twisted individuals TBR list that are looking for an American historical horror with a true crime vibe or anyone that enjoys a twisted tale brilliantly told." -Book Review Sammi Dyer
"I was in for so many surprises. I never knew who was going to show up, or what they'd do, or what kind of things were around the corner. If you are so inclined, I highly recommend jumping into this one with the least amount of information possible because this was absolutely the ride of my life." -Cat Voleur, Author of Revenge Arc
I was not prepared, but I would absolutely do it again.
