Abstract

Marc Olden published nearly 40 books, including Black Samurai , which was adapted into a movie. Poe Must Die , arguably his most distinctly literary composition, expands views of African American literature as well as our understanding of how a Black writer engages Edgar Allan Poe in a work of fiction. This brief examination of the novel highlights the detection skills of two gifted writers: Poe and Olden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
