In the Shadow of the Master (Hardcover)

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.
