In the Shadow of the Master (Hardcover)
Classic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe and Essays by Jeffery Deaver, Nelson Demille, Tess Gerritsen, Sue Grafton, Stephen King, Laura Lippman, Lisa Scottoliby Poe, Edgar Allan
Description:
Released in time to celebrate 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.
