The name of Edgar Allan Poe conjures up the images of ghostly mansions and creaking doors, black cats and things that go bump in the night, the morbid, the melancholy, the ghostly. Poe himself is a leading character in this bizarre myth: Poe the madman, Poe the drug addict. Poe the drunkard, dying at forty in the gutters of Baltimore. There is just enough truth scattered among the popular images of Poe and his work to make it difficult to see the man plain, or to put into perspective his considerable contributions to America literature.

The Thomas S. Klise Company CD-ROM program entitled THAT STRANGE MR.POE traces the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe and provides a close-up look at the important people and events of the time in which Poe wrote.
