Description
Edgar Allan Poe finds himself drawn into a chilling investigation when a series of grisly deaths evokes the macabre imagery of his own fiction. As he follows a trail of deception, obsession, and hidden motives, Poe must rely on his keen intellect—and his intimate understanding of the darker corners of the human mind—to uncover the truth. Blending historical atmosphere, literary intrigue, and classic mystery, the novel offers a richly imagined portrait of Poe as both investigator and haunted artist. Harold Schechter’s atmospheric storytelling brings nineteenth-century America and its most enduring master of the macabre vividly to life.
