| Publisher Description: ★★★ The real story behind Poe's story ★★★ The murder of Mary Rogers may not be well known today, but in the 19th century, it was one of the most compelling murders of the century. It became a national sensation--so much so that Edgar Allan Poe used it as the inspiration for his story "The Mystery of Marie Roget." This chilling narrative will take you back in time to 1838, where you will learn the details of the case and how it became a national phenomenon. |
