Poe: A Life Cut Short is a hauntingly vivid biography of the father of the modern detective story and master of the macabre. Peter Ackroyd explores Edgar Allan Poe’s turbulent life, from his orphaned childhood and fractured relationship with his foster father to his struggles with poverty, alcoholism, and the tragic death of his young wife, Virginia.
Ackroyd masterfully connects Poe’s personal demons to his literary genius, showing how his obsession with the "shadowy" side of the human psyche gave birth to masterpieces like The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. The book presents Poe not just as a writer of Gothic horror, but as a brilliant, troubled pioneer who redefined American literature before his mysterious and untimely death in Baltimore.
