Celebration of the Gothic gloom in an intense theme throughout the literary nineteenth century. Gordon Pym, Alice in Wonderland and Jules Verne as a universal view of travelling. This novel pays a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe and his tormented life. After his spouse’s death, suffering from a devastating condition of neglect, Edgar leaves New York and try to save his soul from demons and desolation. Headed to Italy he needs to face the abyss he has constantly tried to escape. A terrible shipwreck forces him to cross the darkest lands of Europe. Backed by some enigmatic fellow travellers, he fights for his own life, realising it’s still worth it, but an unexpected mystery will drive him to vindicate an abominable outrage to his heart, his beloved heart.
