    About this ebook

    If you're a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, this books solves the mystery of his murder.

    You might be thinking that Poe wasn't murdered. He died in a hospital. You're wrong.

    While he did die at the Washington Medical Center, before that, he was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore and wearing clothes that were not his own. He was admitted to the hospital where he died without explaining what had happened to himself. One clue to what happened to him was that he shouted the name "Reynolds" before he died.

    The hospital and its records were later destroyed in a fire, so we're left with theory and conjecture about how the Master of the Macabre died. One person knows how the Father of the Modern Mystery died, and that person is ...The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe.

    This is his story, although it reads like one of Poe's horror tales.

    Alexander Reynolds has been known by many names in his long life, the most famous of which is Lazarus, the man raised from the dead by Christ. Matthew Cromwell is another resurrected being living an extended life. Eternal life has its cost, though, whether or not Alexander and Matthew want to pay it.

    Alexander has already seen Matthew kill Edgar’s mother and he is determined to keep the same fate from befalling Edgar.

    From the time of Christ to the modern days of the Poe Toaster, The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe is a sweeping novel of love, terror, and mystery that could have come from the imagination of Edgar Allan Poe himself.

    From the reviewers:
    "Impressively original, exceptionally well written, absolutely absorbing from beginning to end, 'The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe' showcases author J. R. Rada's outstanding skills as a novelist. " - Reviewer's Bookwatch
    "...this fictional nail-biting account of the two men whose blood feud brought about Edgar's death. ... it's a great ride through suspense, horror, and mystery - worthy of the writer for whom the novel takes license." - Allegany Magazine
