Open Mic Night at Westminster Cemetery by Mary Amato
5.0
This is an amazing, quick read! Whether or not you’re a fan of literature or Edgar Allen Poe, this book is excellent and will inspire you to read more!!
Lacy wakes up in Westminster Cemetery, resting place of Edgar Allen Poe. Upon learning that she is deceased, she is given a list of rules and told she cannot leave. With each new resident we meet, the story of Westminster’s past, as well as its “leader,” is exposed. When Lacy volunteers to host an open mic night, things go awry. A poem from Lacy is enough to rouse Poe from his grave, and the following open mic night is unimaginably inspiring. A story of love, loss, grief, and forgiveness wrapped in literary grace and flow.
I highly recommend this book, no matter your knowledge of or fondness for Poe. Maybe you’ll walk away with a newfound respect for literature.
