If you're a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe solves the mystery of his murder

You might be thinking that Poe wasn't murdered. He died in a hospital. You're wrong.

While he did die at the Washington Medical Center, he was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore wearing clothes that were not his own. He was admitted to the hospital where he died without explaining what had happened. The only clue is he shouted the name "Reynolds" before he died.

The hospital and its records were later destroyed in a fire, so we're left with theory and conjecture about how the Master of the Macabre died. One person knows how the Father of the Modern Mystery met his end, and that person is ...

The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe.

This is his story, although it reads like one of Poe's horror tales.

Alexander Reynolds has been known by many names in his long life, the most famous of which is Lazarus, the man raised from the dead by Christ. Matthew Cromwell is another resurrected being living an extended life. Eternal life has its cost, though, whether or not Alexander and Matthew want to pay it.

Alexander has already seen Matthew kill Edgar’s mother, and he is determined to keep the same fate from befalling Edgar.

From the time of Christ to the modern days of the Poe Toaster, The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe is a sweeping novel of love, terror, and mystery that could have come from the imagination of Edgar Allan Poe himself.

From the reviewers:

"Impressively original, exceptionally well written, absolutely absorbing from beginning to end, 'The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe' showcases author J. R. Rada's outstanding skills as a novelist. " - Reviewer's Bookwatch
"...this fictional nail-biting account of the two men whose blood feud brought about Edgar's death. ... it's a great ride through suspense, horror, and mystery - worthy of the writer for whom the novel takes license." - Allegany Magazine

Journey Through Time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2021

I loved how the beginning of the book took us through 2,000 years of history. It was really fun to watch everything unfold. I was not expecting a biblical Character to come into play but I liked the twist. The fantasy magic behind the resurrection ability and the immortality was cool. It made so much sense when combined with the mysterious reason behind Edgar's death. I was seriously hoping this would become a movie or TV series when the fight to the death scenes came into play. The walking through fire, flaming arrows and duel was a nice action touch. I would love to see this type of storyline applied to Jack the Ripper. I love Edgar Allen Poe and would recommend this to fans wondering what the heck happened. It puts a lot of theories and analysis in place. Perfect blend of absurd and believable.

An unique way to combine fact and fiction . While I enjoyed the story and there were many plot twists and turns , the story proceeded at a rapid pace in the beginning , but then began to drag as it progressed . That is the reason why it was a four-star read for me.

This book isn't in my usual genre but I'm glad I read it

The mystery of what happened to Edgar Allan Poe is one that appeals to many writers. This story takes a creative spin on "what if" and dives farther back into history than any other to explore a fantastical possibility. This book isn't in my usual genre but I'm glad I read it! The book inspired me to research which parts of the story were fact, which taught me a lot about Poe and his life.

Just finished reading James Rada's compelling book "The Man Who Killed Edgar Allen Poe." Mr. Rada's book is suspenseful, well-written, with lots of plot twists & imaginative figurative language. I stayed up late into the night reading this fantasy; it seemed as if I were reading a true story. Five stars up for this increasingly popular & prolific author.

All Poe enthusiasts will want to read this book. What a talented writer! For me it started out slow, but in just a few pages it got very interesting. It is one of those books where you keep wondering where it is taking you. Well done!

Not what I was expecting, but really enjoyed every word of your book. Normally I would have put this down after realizing how much religion was involved, but I was hooked and it gave me something to think about.

Love Poe, hate this book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2020

Disappointment abounds. To prevent any disclosure, I'll say that this book's premise is built upon a Biblical principle and trying to confirm this premise with an organization that is known for being Biblically inept.
