Edgar Allan Poe: His Life and Legacy

This biography of Edgar Allan Poe, a giant of American literature who invented both the horror and detective genres, is a portrait of extremes: a disinherited heir, a brilliant but underpaid author, a temperate man and uncontrollable addict. This book offers a penetrating look at a writer whose life was stranger and more appalling than his most eccentric fiction. "Poe has found a biographer fully worthy of his strange and erratic genius and his no less strange and erratic life".
