Infused with paranoia and supernatural, To My Beloved Heart will surely appeal to lovers of gothic literature…
Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his gothic literature and his mysterious death: In October 1949, a few days before his death, Poe vanished while on a trip and resurfaced in Baltimore wearing bizarre cloths and jabbing incoherently. To My Beloved Heart chronicles Poe’s journey from New York to darkest lands of Europe a year earlier—during the summer of 1848. The book opens with Poe’s famous poem Alone, and from thereupon, James Marchiori takes the reader on a disturbing, haunting tale of gothic gloom. The narrative is challenging as the author peers into the darkness of his characters’ soul to reveal the shadows they desperately try to hide.
