Poe Knows

Hardback

A Miscellany of Macabre Musings

An illustrated wit-and-wisdom-style packaging of quotes and excerpts from the fiction and nonfiction of Edgar Allan Poe, organized by theme and presented in a lighter-than-Poe context. This book will collect several hundred quotes and aphorisms from Poe s poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Quotes will be organized in thematic chapter groupings, and each chapter will be prefaced with several introductory paragraphs that discuss Poe s preoccupation with their subject matter in a lighter vein. Chapter subjects will include such themes as Madness, Dreams, Revenge, Mortality, and Premature Burial. Spot illustrations will be distributed through the text.
