'A wonderfully engaging account of Poe’s troubled life and work . . . Nimble, generous, brimming with insight' - SARAH WATERS

'Emily Ogden does not flinch from the obscure and sometimes horrifying recesses of Poe’s psychosis' - SUE PRIDEAUX

Are you brave enough to step into the darkness?

Edgar Allan Poe did not truly die. In the years since his mysterious demise, his works have captivated millions and spawned the genres of horror and the detective story. His masterpieces — filled with talking ravens and buried women, haunted houses and beating hearts — live on in our imaginations and our nightmares. They are endlessly adapted, parodied and obsessed over.

But who was Edgar Allan Poe? And why does he haunt us still?

Following the course of Poe’s fascinating, short and tragic life — from his fame as the poet of 'The Raven' to his tortured romances and literary feuds — Emily Ogden dives deep into the mind of a man whose darkness has shaped our world, and interweaves his story with those of the devoted readers who have found solace in his work.

Darkness Becomes Bright is an unflinching exploration of horror, the human condition, and how Poe's haunted legacy might keep us company in moments of darkness.

Edgar Allan Poe’s darkness surrounds us. Might it also help us to see the light?

'Spellbinding . . . This portrait of Poe will haunt you to the grave and beyond'

批評家のレビュー

A wonderfully engaging account of Poe’s troubled life and work that is also a celebration of artistic cross-fertilization. Nimble, generous, brimming with insight, Ogden’s book captures the richness, the strangeness and the unexpected beauty to be found in our enduring fascination with the dark places of the soul (Sarah Waters, author of Fingersmith)
A gorgeous, spellbinding tale that blends criticism, biography, and carefully chosen moments of memoir to look fearlessly at what is most difficult – most perverse, disturbing, and, occasionally, beautiful – in art as well as life. This portrait of Poe will haunt you to the grave and beyond. (Christine Smallwood, author of The Life of the Mind)
Emily Ogden brilliantly exhumes the beating heart of America's darkest poet (Orlando Reade, author of What in Me is Dark)
Emily Ogden does not flinch from the obscure and sometimes horrifying recesses of Poe’s psychosis. Her enthralling psychological portrait of the tormented artist is drawn with panache, and great compassion (Sue Prideaux, author of Wild Thing)
