     Alex Mason isn’t your typical highschool senior.  She has no friends, except for a timid senior named Lilly.  She has an overprotective father, who also happens to be her history teacher.  Her overbearing mother is the School Counselor, who smothers Alex every chance she gets.  If that wasn’t enough, paranoid Officer Martinez, the School Security Guard is always following her around.  This makes it hard to sneak out and see the new guys on campus Mike and his brother Cass who just transferred in from New York.  They are smart, funny, well-mannered, chivalrous, and Alex is thinking of asking Mike to Prom.  The problem is, the boys are on Campus for a dangerously different reason.

  

     The term Penny Dreadful refers to a term used to describe serial literature in the nineteenth century.  Working class young men were becoming more literate, and with the rise of Capitalism and Industrialization, more money was being spent on entertainment.  These serial fiction stories were often fantastic and had no grounding in normality. The subject matter of these stories was typically sensational, focusing on the exploits of detectives, criminals, or supernatural entities.  Young men who could not afford a penny per week to buy these stories would often form clubs and pass the beaten pages from person to person.  Later, whole stores and libraries were jam packed with “story papers”.   This later gave birth to an Americanized version of the books called “Dime Novels.”
