A group of modern literary talents join forces with Edgar Allen Poe to complete his unfinished story, "The Lighthouse", each bringing to the story their own unique vision. Welcome to Poe's "Lighthouse". This title includes all new stories from the legendary Edgar Allen Poe - with a little help from 24 of today's best literary talents, including Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, John Shirley, and Mike Resnick. These writers were given a task; to take the little-known, unfinished story Poe wrote near the end of his life, and turn it into a complete story - in any way they wished. The only rule was to use Poe's language and imagery. Editor Christopher Conlon provides an Introduction which explains the background of Poe's unfinished tale and includes its original, unaltered text, while the completed stories reflect the amazing imaginations of the writers themselves - from lighthearted fantasy to gothic horror, from romantic adventure to hard-edged science fiction.
