I Am Mr. Poe: A Novel

by Elle Powers

It’s been 172 years since we last heard from him…

Brace yourself for one last word from the Master of Mystery.

The life and death of Edgar Allan Poe are as strange and disturbing as the tales he authored. With all the contradiction and scorn surrounding America’s most misunderstood writer—not to mention the 172 years since we last heard from him—it is impossible to know the true personality behind the pen.

Or it was, until he reached out from beyond the grave to tell us himself.

In this fictional memoir, the ghost of Mr. Poe is still writing, and his current story might be the most shocking yet. He personally narrates his short time on earth, refuting the rumors, reliving the suffering, and providing the clues necessary to solve the mystery of his untimely demise.

About the author

With an English degree and a fondness for British literature, Elle Powers entered the publishing world as a maker of books in 2001. Since then, she’s been a steadfast bibliophile (a trait she attributes to genetics, being kin to Edgar Allan Poe). She writes from a turn-of-the-century farmhouse (which is six years older than Peter Pan), encircled by the Blue Ridge Mountains. When she’s not scribbling, you may find Elle wandering the Virginia hills with a novel in hand and a dog by her side. She is currently writing a fictional memoir featuring Cousin Edgar; I Am Mister Poe is due out in 2019.
