Poe by J. Barton Mitchell
4.0
Albeit a little ham-fisted in its execution, Poe is an interesting (and sensationally fictionalized) mish-mash of Edgar Allan Poe's (fictional) life and inspiration with Sherlock Holmes. In fact, I'm pretty convinced that Edgar Allan Poe in Poe is a new embodiment of Holmes, because much of the dialogue is written in a similar fashion.
Topping it off - to squeeze in more inspiration for Poe's macabre literature, of course - is a heap of madness with a big dollop of the supernatural. Ghosts and golems, oh my!
This isn't to its detriment, though. It was a fun, quick read. Recommended if you're looking for a neat mystery to lose yourself in for an evening, with some great art.
