About “The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding“
“I would say it’s a pleasure to meet thee, Prosperity Oceanus Redding, but truly, I only anticipate the delights of destroying thy happiness….”
Prosper is the only unexceptional Redding in his old and storied family history—that is, until he discovers the demon living inside him. Turns out Prosper’s great-great-great-great-great-something grandfather made—and then broke—a contract with a malefactor, a demon who exchanges fortune for eternal servitude. And, weirdly enough, eight-hundred-year-old Alastor isn’t exactly the forgiving type.
The fiend has reawakened with one purpose–to destroy the family whose success he ensured and who then betrayed him. With only days to break the curse and banish Alastor back to the demon realm, Prosper is playing unwilling host to the fiend, who delights in tormenting him with nasty insults and constant attempts to trick him into a contract. Yeah, Prosper will take his afterlife without a side of eternal servitude, thanks. But with the help of his long-lost uncle, Barnabas, and his daughter, Nell, a witch-in-training, it seems like Prosper has at least a fighting chance of ridding himself of Alastor before the demon escapes and wreaks havoc on his family.
Little does Prosper know, the malefactor’s control over his body grows stronger with each passing night and there’s a lot Alastor isn’t telling his dim-witted (but admittedly strong-willed) human host…
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Alexandra Bracken comes a tale of betrayal and revenge, of old hurts passed down from generation to generation. Can you ever fully right a wrong, ever truly escape your history? Or will Prosper and Alastor be doomed to repeat it?

The unique storyline excites me about reading this book!
I am excited to read this book because it is by a best selling author and the plot sounds interesting!
I like the witch-craft theme or story line. Thanks for the chance 🙂
The story sounds exciting. I’d love to read this book
The plot is intriguing, and it looks like a novel that I would enjoy.
Following dad_outdoors on twitter as @bbdream34. The entry asked for Instagram handle instead of twitter handle.
The magic!
I love the historic betrayal and revenge plot, it always make a great story.
I think this book has an interesting story that will keep me from wanting to put it down.
This looks like something my niece would really enjoy.
I like that this book is about family history.
Will be lessons to be learned.
thank you
I’m excited for this book because I think fantasy books with animals in it.
I love the cover art. I find the story premise engaging. And I like what I perceive to be the author’s word play. It’s one thing to tell a story. It’s another to tell it well. And yet another still to add levels of style, whimsy if you will. A pretty mind impresses me more than a pretty face. The author lacks for neither. Ah, if I was young and single! But I am neither. Yes, I want to win this contest. What I’d really like to do is introduce Ms. Bracken to my 30 year old son. I believe she would find him intriguing, and, I believe, that feeling would be mutual. No, that isn’t parental vanity. No, you won’t find this son via my social networks. When this son was a little boy, he won a contest. The prize was a school visit from author R.L. Stine. Yes, I probably fall along the fringes of the bell curve. So I’m a nut? Perhaps, but I am an earnest nut. I stand by all that I have said.
Good time to read this – Halloween season coming up
I’m excited to read this because it’s a bit spooky!
