Description:

Originally compiled in celebration of the 200th birthday of the American maestro of macabre, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASTER collects 16 exemplary pieces of Edgar Allan Poe`s fiction, pairing each with commentary by contemporary writers, who explore the impact Poe has had on their own creative efforts. The line-up includes: Stephen King praising "The Tell-Tale Heart"; Jeffery Deaver on "The Bells"; Sue Grafton contributing a piece called "How I Became an Edgar Allan Poe Convert"; and Michael Connelly, who edited the collection, on "The Fall of the House of Usher." This unique, illustrated edition proves that, much like the heart under the floorboards that won`t stop beating in "The Tell-Tale Heart," long after his death, Poe`s writing persists in its influence on our imaginations.

  • The Mystery Writers of America presents a collection of Poe tales with afterwords by 20 distinguished writers who honor Poe's powerful influence on the modern crime story. Stephen King, reflecting on "The Tell-tale Heart," credits Poe with writing "the first tale of criminal sociopathy." Lisa Scottoline, in her perceptive appreciation of "William Wilson," cites a score of contemporary works that silently acknowledge its influence in their exploration of "the spookiness that comes from the fragmenting or doubling of the self, and the splintering of identity." P.J. Parrish, writing reverently on "The Black Cat," praises it as, among other things, "an early example of genre-crossing" in its splice of horror and detection. Contributions from Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, Tess Gerritsen and others-many of them Edgar winners-vary in their appreciation from the deeply personal to the respectfully analytical, and from the lightly humorous to the deadly earnest.
