About this audiobook
Nevermore brings one of America's most enigmatic writers to the attention of a new generation of children. This intriguing photobiography examines the life and times of the author and poet who would have a huge influence on future generations of writers, poets, artists, and even songwriters. Poe pioneered the psychological horror story, the detective story, and the emerging genre of science fiction. Through his dark tales and unforgettable verse, as well as his literary criticism, he made major contributions to the development of the modern short story and modern poetry in America. Thanks to the translations of the French writer Charles Baudelaire, Poe also gained a wide audience throughout Europe. His work influenced not only writers, but also avant-garde artists, who saw in him a kindred soul. Karen Lange's gripping narrative combines with the book's vivid illustrations of Poe's various haunts to create an atmospheric account of America's most famous Romantic writer. The story shifts from his birth in Boston to Richmond, from Hampton Roads to Philadelphia, from New York City to his mysterious death in Baltimore. Nevermore is a rich appreciation of an American master, whose macabre tales of mystery took shape in tandem with his own strange and ultimately tragic life story.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a well-written book on the life of Edgar Allen Poe. I liked this book because it incorporates real portraits from this time period, and the author also provided captions under the picture describing what the image was. Such as a picture of one of Edgar Allen Poe’s lovers, and under the picture was a small description of who she was and where they met. I also liked this book, because the author provided a timeline in the back with important times for Poe’s life, such as in in 1830 when he entered the U.S. military academy at West Point. I found this to be helpful, because this was longer book. I also liked this book, because it featured writings from Poe on almost every page. Such as the couplet poem he wrote in 1847 just after his wife had passed away. The couplet reads, “deep in the Earth my love is lying and I must weep alone.”The main message of this book was to inform the reader of the life of Edgar Allen Poe.
