description: An exhilarating reinvention of the gothic novel inspired by the iconic characters of our greatest myths and nightmares.The body of a young girl is found mangled and murdered in the woods of Hemlock Grove Pennsylvania in the shadow of the abandoned Godfrey Steel mill. A manhunt ensuesthough the authorities arent sure if its a man they should be looking for.Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower a foreboding biotech facility owned by the Godfrey familytheir personal fortune and the local economy having moved on from Pittsburgh steelwhere if rumors are true biological experiments of the most unethical kind take place. Others turn to Peter Rumancek a Gypsy trailer-trash kid who has told impressionable high school classmates that hes a werewolf. Or perhaps its Roman the son of the late JR Godfrey who rules the adolescent social scene with the casual arrogance of a cold-blooded aristocrat his superior status unquestioned despite his decidedly freakish sister Shelley whose monstrous medical conditions belie a sweet intelligence and his otherworldly control freak of a mother Olivia. At once a riveting mystery and a fascinating revelation of the grotesque and the darkness in us all Hemlock Grove has the architecture and energy to become a classic in its own rightand Brian McGreevy the talent and ambition to enthrall us for years to come.
