Can't Wait Wednesday: The Raven's Tale by Cat Winters

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring The Raven's Tale by Cat Winters releasing April 16.

About the Book
"Brooding, macabre, romantic, and surprisingly whimsical . . . a must-read for Poe fans and Poe newcomers alike." Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series

"Winters's smart, silvery, slithering prose finds beauty in the grotesque―and what is art if not that?" ―Daniel Kraus, co-author of the New York Times bestseller The Shape of Water

"A darkly delicious tale that's sure to haunt readers forevermore." ―Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series

Seventeen-year-old Edgar Poe counts down the days until he can escape his foster family--the wealthy Allans of Richmond, Virginia. He hungers for his upcoming life as a student at the prestigious new university, almost as much as he longs to marry his beloved Elmira Royster. However, on the brink of his departure, all his plans go awry when a macabre Muse named Lenore appears to him. Muses are frightful creatures that lead Artists down a path of ruin and disgrace, and no respectable person could possibly understand or accept them. But Lenore steps out of the shadows with one request: "Let them see me!"

Why I Need It
The awesome cover is what first caught my eye about this book. Then I saw that it was about a young Edgar Allan Poe and knew I had to have it. I'm beyond excited for this one!

What upcoming release are you excited about?

  3. Gosh! This cover is absolutely stunning! I've never read Edgar Allan Poe and only know what I've picked up from pop culture, but maybe this would be the perfect book to introduce me.

    1. It seemed like we read the same Edgar Allan Poe story every year in school and it wasn't until after I graduated that I took the time to check out his other stuff. Loved it! And now I can't get enough of everything Poe-related. Thanks for visiting, Louise! Happy reading! :)
