Matthew Pearl takes a novel approach to Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious death in The Poe Shadow, in which he blends fact and fiction in the style of his bestselling debut, The Dante Club. In 1849 Baltimore, the public and press are ready to dismiss Poe in the wake of his tawdry demise. But lawyer and admirer Quentin Clark is determined to discover what really happened to the writer, and to ensure that his work does not suffer the fate of so many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.

Maybe if you had someone to read it to you in bed...who am I kidding your list would just be longer. Sorry.
If you don't want to read an entire book and you want to know what really happened, you need merely to read #334-#336
