A view into the tumultuous and creative life of Edgar Allan Poe.
Today the name Edgar Allan Poe invokes a tragic genius whose mastery of horror seems inexorably tied to his tormented life. But in his own time, Poe was above all a craftsman-an editor and reviewer desperately trying to earn a living by transmuting the wild ephemera of early Victorianism into innovations in science fiction, horror, and detective literature. Indeed, the crime thriller would not exist without Poe's sleuth Dupin, the deductive genius of "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter."
With brilliant scholarship and storytelling verve, Paul Collins delves into Poe's life and his professional world, from his stormy relationship with his rich adoptive father and interest in cryptograms to hits such as "The Raven" and flops like Eureka, his late-career crank literature outing. Edgar Allan Poe is an informative and supremely entertaining account of one of the most singular talents in American letters.

A fine short biography

Aside from having read The Raven, Annabel Lee and some of his Noir tales, I really didn’t know much about Poe, the Man, and this bio definitely filled in the blanks. It’s unfortunate that, like so many of our Artistic icons, his work only achieved recognition after his death and ignominious burial. I can go back now and read his stories and poems with a more appreciative eye. Four Stars. ****
A troubling biography of a troubled Genius.

- Rev. Rufus Griswold, quoted in Edgar Allan Poe: The Fever Called Living
A solid introduction/biography of Edgar Allen Poe. I've been fascinated with Poe since being a kid in Utah, and later Virginia and a young adult in Richmond. I adore his short stories, like his poetry, and have mostly, lazily avoided his other writings. Perhaps, it is time to try to read all of his stuff. Collins does a solid job of tracing the life and literary history of Poe. I was fascinated by his relationship with other authors and editors. Collins does a good job of placing Poe in his time, but not burying Poe in his age. Grover Gardner, as always, is a master of his craft.
