Mrs. Poe

Inspired by literatureâ€™s most haunting love triangle, award-winning author Lynn Cullen delivers a pitch-perfect rendering of Edgar Allan Poe, his mistressâ€™s tantalizing confession, and his wifeâ€™s frightening obsession in this new masterpiece of historical fiction to which Sara Gruen says, â€œMrs. Poe had my heart racing...Don't miss it!â€

And make sure to check out the captivating new novel from Lynn Cullenâ€”Twainâ€™s Endâ€”where the acclaimed author tells a fictionalized imagining of the relationship between iconic author Mark Twain and his personal secretary, Isabel Lyon.

1845: New York City is a sprawling warren of gaslit streets and crowded avenues, bustling with new immigrants and old money, optimism and opportunity, poverty and crime. Edgar Allan Poeâ€™s â€œThe Ravenâ€ is all the rageâ€”the success of which a struggling poet like Frances Osgood can only dream. As a mother trying to support two young children after her husbandâ€™s cruel betrayal, Frances jumps at the chance to meet the illustrious Mr. Poe at a small literary gathering, if only to help her fledgling career. Although not a great fan of Poeâ€™s writing, she is nonetheless overwhelmed by his magnetic presenceâ€”and the surprising revelation that he admires her work.

What follows is a flirtation, then a seduction, then an illicit affairâ€¦and with each clandestine encounter, Frances finds herself falling slowly and inexorably under the spell of her mysterious, complicated lover. But when Edgarâ€™s frail wife, Virginia, insists on befriending Frances as well, the relationship becomes as dark and twisted as one of Poeâ€™s tales. And like those gothic heroines whose fates are forever sealed, Frances begins to fear that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating death itselfâ€¦
