‘nEvermore’ is a collection of 21 tales inspired by Edgar
Allen Poe. Some are updates of Poe stories- ‘The Orange Cat’ is a modern day
“The Black Cat’- while another, “Street of the Dead House” is a retelling of ‘Murders
in the Rue Morgue’ through the eyes of the ape. Others simply have the aura and
atmosphere of Poe. The anthology features some great authors, including Tanith
Lee, Michael Jecks, and Margaret Atwood(!).
Most short story collections have many stories that I either
don’t like or just don’t do it for me; to my surprise, I appreciated every
story in this one. If you are a Poe fan or a
horror fan, give it a try.

I received this book free in return for a fair review.
Neither of these things influenced my review.
I like Poe and I'd read the book just for the Atwood entry. Good for a dark winter day.
