What happens when your tell-tale nightmares turn into reality and the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe won't seem to let you alone? For as long as she can remember, sixteen-year-old Ellen Poe's family has claimed to be long-lost descendants of Edgar Allan Poe. But when she moves in with her aunt in a Poe-themed B&B, the nightmares that have always haunted her begin bleeding into Ellen's waking hours. When she stumbles upon a journal in the house, none other than Edgar Allan Poe himself begins visiting her. Has the journal somehow released his ghost? And what does he want with Ellen? Through secret messages in his writings, she learns that the two share the same psychic ability to interact with spirits--which is what ultimately drove him mad.

This thrilling series for young adult readers follows Ellen on her quest to learn more about her abilities, the afterlife, and the clues Poe has left for her (ciphers and cryptograms galore), in an effort to not suffer his same fate.

DIANA PETERFREUND has published sixteen novels for adults, teens, and kids. Her works have been named to the New York Public Library's Books for the Teen Age list, the Capitol Choices reading list, the Texas LoneStar List, and the Sunshine State Young Reader Awards List, as well as Amazon's Best Books of the Year. In addition, she's written dozens of short stories and a variety of nonfiction essays about popular children's literature. Diana lives in Maryland with her family.

"Poe fans will rejoice at the amusing, endearing characterization of the poet, while those unfamiliar with his work will develop a well-earned appreciation for him.... A winning combination of mystery and (tell-tale) heart."-- Kirkus Reviews

"...Will delight young adult mystery fans, especially those who enjoy a ghostly encounter. Ellen is a smart girl detective with a surprisingly realistic array of burdens to carry, and Edgar Allan Poe's ghost makes for an unorthodox but fun sidekick. Ellen Poe succeeds on multiple counts..."-- Locus Magazine
