About This Book

Edgar Allan Poe's San Francisco: Terror Tales of the City is a psychological gothic horror suspense thriller perfectly faithful to the style and tradition of Edgar Allan Poe, set in contemporary San Francisco, in which a hypnotist, Dr. Vincent Valdemar, ostensibly undertakes to condition a writer, Nicolino, to copycat the murderous modus operandi of a notorious serial killer, known as the Scarabus Killer, who stalked San Francisco in times past. Fate unites both characters who coincidentally admire the works of Poe, themes and images of which are liberally interspersed throughout this perversely tantalizing terror tale of Poe, of hypnosis--of the City! What's real and unreal becomes eerily blurred in a shadowy and murky fog as this surreal brew weaves its way through an ethereal cityscape populated by spectral characters: in this ultimate Poe-pourri.
