The elements of time travel and Poe tempted me to download this short novel by an author I'd never heard of, and I was pleasantly surprised. While not a deep read, it is quite well written and light-hearted, a pleasant read with some interesting ideas. The main character Alexandra Reynolds is the owner of a bar in Baltimore, who is surprised when a drunken Edgar Allan Poe staggers in one night - but not as surprised as one might think, as she seems to be a time traveller herself, though her origins are not explained. It emerges that Poe has time travelled from a point just a few days before his early death in 1849, and the plot centres around Reynolds trying to find a way to return Poe to his own time, even though she knows he will shortly die, with the help of a local cop who has the hots for her. Reynolds's own time travelling exploits are not explained, though she was involved with helping to hide runaway slaves on the famous Underground Railway. Quite intriguing, and I would read more from this author. ( )
