Reviews"Poe accomplished what only the greatest writers are capable of achieving: the creation of a world. His was a world of twisty tales and dark comeuppances, his people haunted by the past and love denied. And this is what you'll also find in nEvermore!: Tales of Murder, Mystery and the Macabre , a world of its own authored by a talented crew who have fallen under Poe's spell and brought chilling and distinctive documents back with them. Pleasures abound." -- Andrew Pyper , author of The Damned and The Demonologist, A full moon, a ragged raven, the name of Edgar Allan Poe--the cover will pull in teens who love a good scream. Invited "to spin for us Poe-like tales," twenty-two authors produce short stories connected to Poe's fiction, poetry, and literary criticism. Some connect obviously, like "Street of the Dead House" (Rue Morgue from the orangutan's point of view), or "The Orange Cat" and Poe's black one. Others take a Poe theme in a more contemporary direction, like "Naomi," the story of a transgender teen whose death is avenged through a "telltale" ringto≠or "133," which revisits Ligeia's resurrection motif through the fate of a serial killer revived 133 times to provide closure to the families of each of his victims. Though its publishing roots are Canadian and aimed at an adult market, the assortment of writers includes names with adolescent appeal: Kelley Armstrong (Age of Legends, Darkest Powers, Blackwell series); Nancy Holder (Wolf Springs Chronicles and Wicked series); Tanith Lee (Dragon Hoard and Claidi Journals). Also included are accomplished adult writers. Margaret Atwood contributes her first story written when she was sixteen, "The Eye of Heaven," an adaptation of The Telltale Heart. Each author introduces the story by explaining its genesis in Poe's writings. The book begins with a critical essay on the influence of Poe's work and concludes with brief biographies of this talented group of writers. Sophisticated teens who like things short and scary will be glad they checked this collection out.--Donna L Phillips.
