Signed bookplate and author letter. From Satisfiction Book Box

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

From award-winning author Nghi Vo comes a dazzling new novel where immortality is just a casting call away

It was magic. In every world, it was a kind of magic.

"No maids, no funny talking, no fainting flowers." Luli Wei is beautiful, talented, and desperate to be a star. Coming of age in pre-Code Hollywood, she knows how dangerous the movie business is and how limited the roles are for a Chinese American girl from Hungarian Hill--but she doesn't care. She'd rather play a monster than a maid.

But in Luli's world, the worst monsters in Hollywood are not the ones on screen. The studios want to own everything from her face to her name to the women she loves, and they run on a system of bargains made in blood and ancient magic, powered by the endless sacrifice of unlucky starlets like her. For those who do survive to earn their fame, success comes with a steep price. Luli is willing to do whatever it takes--even if that means becoming the monster herself.

Siren Queen offers up an enthralling exploration of an outsider achieving stardom on her own terms, in a fantastical Hollywood where the monsters are real and the magic of the silver screen illuminates every page.

Marie Roger By: Edgar Allen Poe. As you can see from the photos of the title page this edition of this story was published by R.F. Tenno & Company which was only in business from 1906-1912 with the given address: 18 East 17 street, New York. The latest copyright of this edition from this publisher was 1912, I’m assuming. There is no writing within other than on this page of the owners name and address with the year “1925” written. 

R. F. Fenno & Co. was an American publishing book company based in New York, founded in 1885 by Robert F. Fenno. By the turn of the century the firm was in financial trouble and between 1903 and 1905 was managed by a committee of its creditors. Robert F. Fenno retired from the firm in 1929. It was continued by his associates under the name of Diehl, Landau and Pettit.
