      My brother Eli and I are lying on the couch, both of us nearly asleep, Eli’s toenails gently kneading my neck. I’m raising my throat to their sharpness, wanting him to press in, when from the next room we hear chimes. Then two clangs. Then: “Hello?”

      About the Author

      Dedication

      This folio is dedicated to a wonderful girl, whose name is Alle.

      Prologue ~ Explanation of What Follows

      Hello. My name is Vivian St. Clair. I have a twin brother named Elliot. As this story begins, we are fifteen.

      This story starts in 1844, in our flat in London, England at 13 Ash Lane. But you will learn more about that as you continue to read.

      Much has happened and much has changed since I first wrote my journals so many years ago. Times are very different now. I have since gone back and re-read my journals, and put each one in terms of a folio, to make them better understood, and to fill in a few blanks from my memory. What follows here is a folio based on my original journal, which is slightly less understandable.

      I have put down these incredible events as they have happened, and without embellishment. The only ways in which I have altered them from the original journals is for the sake of clarity. I hope that you can find some merit in their perusal, as I have gone through all of this subsequent effort for you, the reader.
