Edgar Allan Poe at Home

Author Christopher P. Semtner takes readers inside the homes of Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe's terror tales and melancholy poetry carved a bold new path across literary genres. Meet the man behind the madness, murder and mayhem on this road trip to Poe's homes in Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, the Bronx and more. Along the way, meet the grave robbers, murderers and tooth thieves who inspired his greatest horror stories. Learn the secret histories of these Poe places to find out which was owned by a man who kept Poe's wife's bones in a box under his bed, which might be haunted by Poe's ghost, which has the best basement for hiding corpses and which stood across the street from an anatomy lab.
