Where Thy Dark Eye Glances Edited by Steve Berman

The canon of Edgar Allan Poe, one of the foremost writers of dark and atmospheric fiction and poetry, offers readers haunted shores teeming with various erudite men brooding in the waning light over their feelings for unobtainable women. Yet, whether the tales or verses are grotesque or sinister, Poe's narrators are Outsiders, dealing with emotions that so many LGBT individuals feel: isolation and abandonment, as well as loneliness and lost love. In the Shirley Jackson Award finalist Where Thy Dark Eye Glances, editor Steve Berman has assembled a range of tales that queer the prose and poetry of Poe, the man himself, as well as dark and eerie stories about reading Poe's work.
