Dos veces Poe

Edgar and his dog, Poe, often see a mysterious man in a black coat and hat at the park. Sometimes he is accompanied by a cat, and at other times by a raven. His name might be Schffrzd or Ffgrdsh—they aren't quite sure—but they do know he has some connection to Edgar Allan Poe, the American poet. Could he be the poet's ghost? Perhaps the ghost of the person who drove him to his death? Or just a sad, ordinary impostor? The mysterious man tells them a great deal about the writer. Little by little, the boy and his dog discover the life of that other Poe (the poet) and the secret the mysterious man is hiding.
