Mammoth Books presents The Reunion

The Reunion" is based on actual events," reveals the author, "but the story only really came into focus for me when I was invited to contribute to Ellen Datlow''s Poe anthology. Poe is brilliant. I was at a conference recently where a teacher revealed that she had read Poe''s ''The Black Cat'' to a lecture theatre full of schoolchildren. She switched off all the lights and used a torch to read by. A number of parents lodged complaints, which she took as a measure of the event''s success. My tale is inspired by a different Poe story.
