I find myself rather fond of this story, yes it does have a few flaws (including a somewhat less colourful Poe than we're used to) but the gloriously Gothic nature of the tale and the dark yet strangely hopeful ending makes it a perfect little story for any and all Poe fans. I love how Wilson weaves together the presence of Lenore and her abilities, the arrival of Poe and of his familiar, Grimm. The swamp setting just adds to the atmosphere with its sense of unknown and foreboding and of a danger not seen as Lenore's and Poe's lives become entwined in unexpected, yet expected, ways. A delightful read even if it is a little flat in places (but then when you use a character like Poe your writing is going up against his, not a comparison that I would want), I can see me coming back to this again and again.
