Reviews"Books about people's successes are common. Books where you can learn from someone's painful demons and failures are rarer--but far more meaningful. Cat's writing on Poe is insightful, funny and important." -- Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way, "Catherine Baab-Muguira is a very, very funny writer, and her relating of Poe's unconventional path to posthumous fame is an entertaining read. But in between the snark and sarcasm in the pages of her book are some razor-sharp observations on human nature and highly astute takes on the illusory concept of 'success.' I highly recommend this book for all you soul-weary travelers who find humor in the darkness of this looney world we live in. Nevermore, motherf*ckers."-- D. Randall Blythe, LAMB OF GOD vocalist and author of DARK DAYS, "Imagine The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People --set in a Stephen King novel. This is my favorite self-help book written with a horror backdrop."-- Chris Guillebeau, author of THE ART OF NON-CONFORMITY and THE $100 STARTUP, "It turns out that the author of The Cask of Amontillado is the perfect therapist for folks who've been walled up indoors for 18 months."-- Ron Charles, THE WASHINGTON POST
