<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Winner of the 2015 Edgar Award for Best Critical/Biographical!</strong> </p><p>Follow the footsteps of the father of American horror fiction.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Edgar Allan Poe was an oddity: his life, literature, and legacy are all, well, <em>odd</em>. In <em>Poe-Land, </em> J. W. Ocker explores the physical aspects of Poe's legacy across the East Coast and beyond, touring Poe's homes, examining artifacts from his life--locks of his hair, pieces of his coffin, original manuscripts, his boyhood bed--and visiting the many memorials dedicated to him.</p><p>Along the way, Ocker meets people from a range of backgrounds and professions--actors, museum managers, collectors, historians--who have dedicated some part of their lives to Poe and his legacy. <em>Poe-Land</em> is a unique travelogue of the afterlife of the poet who invented detective fiction, advanced the emerging genre of science fiction, and elevated the horror genre with a mastery over the macabre that is arguably still unrivaled today.</p>
