In general I would say I enjoyed this book. Some parts were more exciting than others. I definitely have more of an interest in Poe than I did before.

3 1/2. If I'd read them in the order they came out, I probably would've liked this one better, but I think the Salem book is stronger and this one pales a little in comparison. Still a very good time and it's definitely made me want to re-read some Poe and visit some sites. But I think the thing I like best is the tangents that Ocker goes on about subject-adjacent matters and, with the exception maybe of H.P. Lovecraft, there just wasn't as much opportunity for that as in his other book. Still well worth the time.

A lot of fun, basically a road trip to see all the Poe or Poe adjacent places and things . Get a bit of biography, meet a lot of interesting characters.
