Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #267: The Raven's Tale by Cat Winters

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings. 

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Seventeen-year-old Edgar Poe counts down the days until he can escape his foster family—the wealthy Allans of Richmond, Virginia. He hungers for his upcoming life as a student at the prestigious new university, almost as much as he longs to marry his beloved Elmira Royster. However, on the brink of his departure, all his plans go awry when a macabre Muse named Lenore appears to him. Muses are frightful creatures that lead Artists down a path of ruin and disgrace, and no respectable person could possibly understand or accept them. But Lenore steps out of the shadows with one request: “Let them see me!”

The Raven's Tale by Cat Winters is due out April 16th, 2019 from Amulet Books. 

Why am I waiting on this one? I have enjoyed both Cat Winter's writing and books about Poe in the past. The two together seems like a winning combination. And, I liked the advance praise blurb by A.G. Howard: “A captivating and intensively researched tribute to the famous poet and his gothic muse. Against the tapestry of young Poe’s real-world struggles and tortured relationships, Winters weaves a macabre thread of surrealism through meter and rhyme—at times so dreamy in its rhythms and imagery it teeters between hypnotic and horrifying. I will never look at my own muse the same again, nor will I dare deny it.”
