Edgar Allan Poe

Synopsis
Part of volume, Three Viewings .

Press Reviews
"Hatcher's three brief, intermissionless playlets have the merits and liabilities of that style of American short-story writing which started with O. Henry and, from the careful set-up to the ironic payoff, has never really ended."
— New York Post
