The wizard, watchful, waits alone within his tower of cold gray stone and ponders in his wicked way what evil deeds he'll do this day. What do you think the wizard is planning to do? Conjure a magic spell? Turn a frog into a flea? Fill a cauldron with bubbling brew? You may think you know . . . but watch out. Because if the wizard is bored, he may come looking for you!

Meet Edgar and Allan Poe -- twelve-year-old identical twins, the great-great-great-great-grandnephews of Edgar Allan Poe. They look and act so much alike that they're almost one mischievous, prank-playing boy in two bodies. When their beloved black cat, Roderick Usher, is kidnapped and transported to the Midwest, Edgar and Allan convince their guardians that it's time for a road trip. Along the way, mayhem and mystery ensue, as well as deeper questions: What is the boys' telepathic connection? Is Edgar Allan Poe himself reaching out to them from the Great Beyond? And why has a mad scientist been spying on the Poe family for years? With a mix of literary humor, mystery, a little quantum physics, and fun extras like fortune cookie messages, letters in code, license plate clues -- and playful illustrations thoughout -- this series opener is a perfect choice for smart, funny tweens who love the Time Warp Trio, Roald Dahl, and Lemony Snicket.

Who reads tales as The Tell Tale Heart or The Black Cat can be taken by the feeling that there isn't, in the story itself, fixed points. In fact, few people indicate that the main character, who tells us (his) story, or is presented in a delusion that mistook a supernatural experience, or have an experience so amazing, so terrifying, that upset his judgment. This uncertainty is pure magic , literary magic; wizard thing indeed. And it is also the purest Edgar Allan Poe. Innovator of horror stories, master and main source of romantic gothic american — and one of the main authors of the genre in world literature — he left us powerful stories and influenced many contemporary writers, as indeed is mentioned in this book.
