For Edgar Allen Poe Fans
There is a fascinating new book out by Peter Ackroyd called “Poe, A Life Cut Short”. It’s a Biography of Edgar Allen Poe who is known as the praised author that does not get read a lot. Ackroyd says that Poe has been misrepresented and he did not invent gothic literature, but reinvented a tradition of horror and morbid drama. Poe was born in Boston in 1809 I found a number of interesting facts about Poe it is no wonder he was considered one of Americas important writers even before his death in 1849.
Money Saving tip: go to the library and reserve this book when it comes in as it was just published in Jan 2009.
Happy reading! Gemolis
