Description
The popularity of Edgar Allan Poe and his writings did not peak until long after his death. Many years passed with little interest in his strange and troubled life and the peculiar occurrences surrounding his death. By the time society had become captivated with his existence and distinctive demise, many of the people and details needed to fully explain the writer’s tragic experiences were long lost.
What would happen if someone tried to find out the identity of the elusive “Poe Toaster” and expose it to the world? In the process of discovering the identity of this clandestine grave visitor, might the searcher turn up other untold secrets? And maybe even information surrounding Poe’s mysterious last days?
Struggling writer, Benjamin Meeks, thinks he has what it takes to put a new and fresh twist on the coverage of the annual Poe Toaster visit. As he writes his first article--an open letter to the Poe Toaster himself--strange things start to happen. A chance encounter with a beggar with a warning, anonymous letters with clues woven into them and visits from various people who know something, but aren't telling, lead Ben to think there is much more to this Poe ritual than what others have reported.
Through frustrating dead-ends, unexpected revelations and his final conclusions, Ben has findings that could rock the world. But in the end, will he choose to share what he uncovered, or to continue to guard the secrets from the public? And knowing the strength of what he may have learned, could those who were hot on his trail afford to let him have that choice?
