Very insightful book about the death and life of Edgar Allan Poe. Draws on a lot of previous biographies and speculations. I didn‘t like that the book jumped around chronologically. Edgar Allan Poe didn‘t really intend on being known for horror, but poetry.
They suspected he had very low tolerance for alcohol and was perhaps allergic to it. Had a beloved cat called Catterina. Compelling arguments for latent tuberculosis causing his death.
