Few have crafted stories as haunting as those by Edgar Allan
Poe. Collected here to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of
Poe's birth are sixteen of his best tales accompanied by twenty
essays from beloved authors, including T. Jefferson Parker,
Lawrence Block, Sara Paretsky, and Joseph Wambaugh, among others,
on how Poe has changed their life and work.
Michael Connelly recounts the inspiration he drew from Poe's
poetry while researching one of his books. Stephen King reflects on
Poe's insight into humanity's dark side. Jan Burke recalls her
childhood terror during late-night reading sessions. Tess
Gerritsen, Nelson DeMille, and others remember the classic B-movie
adaptations of Poe's tales. And Laurie R. King complains about how
Poe stole all the good ideas . . . or maybe just thought of them
first.
Powerful and timeless, "In the Shadow of the Master" is a
celebration of one of the greatest literary minds of all time.
