About This Book

Few writers have had such a profound, lasting impact as the incomparable Edgar Allan Poe. Though written more than two hundred years ago, his stories have lost none of their power to enchant, thrill, and terrify. Poe’s tales of mystery and death continue to work their eerie magic on readers of all stripes.

Yet, for all the attention given to his work, many of the details of Poe’s life remain shrouded in obscurity. A man whose stories are familiar to all, Poe was a tortured soul who died a relatively young man under mysterious circumstances. In this fascinating biography, called "the best biography of Poe yet written," by the Washington Post, Silverman illuminates the dark life of the beloved storyteller, going beyond the literary genius to the intimate details of Poe’s tormented life.

Edgar A. Poe is the definitive account of the life of a true master.
