Andrea Shepherd

As if it weren’t enough that Poppy has to deal with teenage problems like shyness, keeping up with her studies, and the temptations of boys and illicit substances, she also can’t seem to shake the cruel and terrifying monsters intent on haunting her in both her waking and dream lives. Set in 1980s Montreal, The Curtain Lady, Andrea Shepherd’s first novel, is a heartfelt coming-of-age story with a haunting twist.
