The official book description:

Immerse yourself in the untold, blood-chilling history of the darkest wizard of all.

You love Harry Potter and his enchanting adventures. You’ve followed along every painstaking step of his journey and know his story inside and out. But, you’re curious about the darker side of this story. You’ve strayed into the menacing shadows around darker legends. You want to know the full story of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

At first glance, Tom appears to be a one-dimensional character with very little development. After all, the Harry Potter series reveals only of a few chosen memories of Tom's life, shared for the sake of learning his weaknesses. Beneath the surface, however, there is the barest whisper, the most fleeting impression of something far deeper. Tom would prefer you refrain from peeking behind the facade of the fearsome, one-dimensional persona he’s crafted (and annoyingly talks about in third person at times). But in Voldemort: An Unofficial Exploration, author Grace Candido-Beecher lays bare the darker aspects of the Harry Potter books, leading you headfirst into the shadows to discover the humanity of a man who desperately wants to be anything but human.
