Twenty contemporary writers commemorate the 200th anniversary of
the birth of Edgar Allan Poe with chilling stories inspired by the
master himself.
Nearly two centuries after they were penned, Edgar Allan Poe's
macabre tales are still working their eerie magic on readers of
every stripe--thrill-seekers, filmmakers, even fellow writers of
suspense. Collected here to honor and celebrate Poe's genius are
original stories by some of the best mystery writers at work
today.
A son attempts to connect with his dying father in Thomas H.
Cook's "Nevermore." John Lutz's "Poe, Poe, Poe" combines elements
from several of Poe's stories in a twisted tale of madness and
mayhem. "Poe, Jo, and I," by Don Winslow, examines the curious bond
literature can form between the most unlikely of friends. And in
Jon L. Breen's "William Allan Wilson," getting even has never felt
so good.
With contributions by Mary Higgins Clark, Jeremiah Healy, Peter
Lovesey, P. J. Parrish, Daniel Stashower, and Angela Zeman, among
others, "On a Raven's Wing" is a fitting tribute to the one and
only Edgar Allan Poe.
The Mystery Writers of America, founded in 1945, is the foremost
organization for mystery writers and other professionals dedicated
to the field of crime writing.
Don't miss "In the Shadow of the Master," a new collection of
Poe's stories, edited by Michael Connelly and featuring essays from
Stephen King, Sue Grafton, and others.
