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-nominated 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.

Industry Reviews

"Throughout the collection, stories focus on the ease with which, in the period in which Poe was writing (and, as recent gay bashings in the news attest, today as well), gay love could turn into death." - Strange Horizons
