Using photographic art and highly imaginative storytelling, In the Shadow of Edgar Allen Poe presents a dark and fictional look into the inspiration behind one of America's greatest poets. When Sterling Tuttle discovers Poe's alleged secret diary, the Poe scholar suddenly begins to wonder if the alcoholic writer's work was actually influenced by supernatural demons instead of mental ones. In his macabre journal that recounts his tortured life, the enigmatic Poe goes into graphic detail about creatures from another dimension that have granted him his abilities for their own nefarious reasons. Delving deeper into this supernatural mystery, Tuttle must discover if these devilish gremlins truly exist or if they were just the manifestations of a fractured and tragic mind.
