Product Information

As I turned the corner of the gable, the mastiff bounded towards me in stern silence, but with the eye and the whole air of a tiger. I held him out my hand, however, in token of amity — and I never yet knew the dog who was proof against such an appeal to his courtesy. He not only shut his mouth and wagged his tail, but absolutely offered me his paw — afterwards extending his civilities to Ponto.

Augustus Landor, despite being fictional, is an authentic and relatable character. The realistic depiction of the trauma that unsettles him, the need for vengeance that drives him forward, and his admirable relationship with his mentee Poe make Landor rooted in reality. The poet was neither part of any murder investigation during the six months he spent at the Military Academy nor had a father figure like Augustus Landor to look up to. The character’s murder investigation, relationship with Landor, and companionship with Lea Marquis were conceived by Bayard. “The nice thing about being a historical novelist is you get to make shit up,” the author shared in the same interview, making it clear that his character and the real-life poet are drastically different.

What drives someone to madness? How much pressure has to build before they explode in violence? What causes morality and decency to erode in otherwise decent people? Edgar Allan Poe probed these questions repeatedly in his writings, and the answer was often just a hint of deeper, more unfathomable problems at play. In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the provocation for murder was the victim’s cataract: “One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold.” The poem inspired a song composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan. "To One in Paradise" was published posthumously in 1904 and written for a tenor voice with piano. It is also the basis of the song "To One in Paradise" on the Alan Parsons Project 1976 album Tales of Mystery and Imagination.Bruce Lee's Daughter Says She Doesn't Know What Quentin Tarantino's "Issues Are" With Her Father: "He Has Borrowed From Him Quite A Bit" Paul Hollywood Physically Glitched After Eating a Sour Showstopper on 'The Great British Baking Show' "Pastry Week" a b c Campbell, Killis.

What most people don’t know about Poe is that when he was younger, he was very warm, witty, and humorous,” Cooper says. “He was, by all accounts, thought to be a great companion. When we think of Poe, we conjure up these images of the macabre. And we’ve seen that daguerreotype photo of him, which was taken a few days after his suicide attempt, so we feel that this is a man who kind of toils in darkness. But in fact, he was much warmer and witty and humorous. And that’s what I wanted to explore.”

He continues, “I found the novel incredibly clever and interesting, because the author has placed Edgar Allan Poe, who bequeathed to us detective fiction, at the center of his detective story. I took that seed and I said I can make this film into three things. It can be a whodunnit. It can be a father, son, love story about two men who operate on the margins of society who come together and forge this loving kinship. And it can also become an Edgar Allan Poe origin story [where] the events that take place in this film motivate Poe to become the writer he became.”Eldorado" - A poem about a knight's quest for the legendary city of gold, Eldorado, and the futility of his search. Dr. and Mrs. Marquis have two children, the soft-spoken and frail Lea ( Lucy Boynton) and the thuggish Artemus ( Harry Lawtey), who served as a cadet alongside two of the victims. Although fictional, as a father, Landor is an enormously relatable character. When his daughter Mattie kills herself, like any other fictional or real father, Landor stoops to distress and becomes vulnerable to her haunting memories. When Poe becomes an integral part of his life, Landor succeeds in finding comfort in treating the cadet as his son.
