The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January 19, 1809. But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. ![]() The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. ![]() Giants beware by jorge aguirre5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, the first part of the book is all about introducing us to the characters (super helpful to new readers.)

She doesn’t have to become disillusioned with the system she can already see some of its flaws, though she tends to think about it from her perspective rather than that of the boys. Sudasa doesn’t start out as naïve as some dystopian heroines. Five boys are competing for her hand, but the only one who intrigues Sudasa is Contestant Five, who seems to be walking the fine line between deliberately failing the Test and being conscripted into the army as punishment for failing to participate. Twelve years later, Sudasa, who barely remembers life before Koyanagar declared independence, turns seventeen and must choose a husband through the Test even though she doesn’t really want to get married. ![]() The women of the city of Koyanagar fight back, creating an independent city-state walled off from the rest of the country, where every boy will have a fair chance to win a wife through a series of challenges called the Test. “Instead of fixing things/ of making changes/ of making improvements/ all they’ve done/ has been to break them/ in reverse.”Īfter decades of ultrasounds and selective abortions thanks to an ill-advised One Child Policy, India has five boys for every girl, turning women into a valuable commodity. ![]() Highest Bidder by Sara Cate5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() When Sara Cate announced she was writing two more books in the Salacious Player’s Club series, I may have squealed for joy and scared my family just a bit.

So when Ronan Kade, the richest man at the club, puts down over a hundred grand for my time, how can I tell him no?Įxcept he doesn’t know that. I’m more a piano playing, van-living, free spirit kind of girl. I’m not the kind of girl rich guys take home.
