READERS & REVIEWERS
What Readers Are Saying
thoroughly researched and describes Baltimore’s stratified society with its idioms, nuances, diverse economic endeavors, its architecture and offal upon the damp chaotic streets, and so places the reader squarely within that time walking with and within Poe upon his final journey
Roy K. Farber - 4-star review
the author has researched the main subject well. There are enjoyably interesting footnotes on the people, places, and history
Daisy - 4 star review
refreshing-it utilizes cross-sections of Poe's last days, giving the reader a feeling of disembodiment similar to what Poe's character suffers
