"This collection of essays about Poe’s legacy and influence by a variety of contemporary American artists and writers offers a vibrant procession of perspectives on one of America’s most pervasively influential and perennially misrepresented literary figures. Whether in or out of academia, readers with an abiding interest in Poe’s multi-faceted contemporary reception will find much in this collection to fascinate them." —Sean Moreland, editor of THE LOVECRAFTIAN POE
