Synopsis

"...a triumph of literary magic...."
"...the story creeps up on you like a black cat in the dark...."

Mr. Poe would like a word with you.

It is fairly well known that Edgar Allan Poe died a long time ago. What is not so well known is what he was doing just before his tragic death on October 7th, 1849.

And Poe Said is a fictional depiction of Edgar Allan Poe's last days. But it is much more than that. There is the matter of his lost short story "Mr. Dormir's Last Request." There is a tumultuous Baltimore election with enough fraud in it to fill all the frog bellies in every swamp in old merry Maryland. It has history, poetry and literary merit and, most important of all, a personal message for you - from Mr. Poe. He wants you to know that ... well, I'm not going to spoil it for you.

A Large Print Edition (ISBN-10 : 1539589668) is also available.
