Sara Gruen, bestselling author of Water for Elephants

When struggling poet and betrayed wife Frances Osgood meets Edgar Allen Poe, she is hoping only for a boost in her literary career—certainly not what came next. Swept into an illicit love affair with the complicated, magnetic, and married Poe, Osgood and Poe must together face the consequences, which are no less horrific or revenge-filled than his best loved horror stories–and quite possibly as deadly. Mrs. Poe had my heart racing as hard as The Cask of Amontillado ever did. Don’t miss it!
