The Poe Predicament by Phil Thomas

Rating: WARTY!

"After picking up a special signed copy of Edgar Allan Poe poems from his neighborhood bookstore, college professor Richard is suddenly transported to the 19th century. To return home and restore history, he’ll have to help none other than the famed author himself." Of course he will. Barf. This is about as low and pathetic, and uninventive as you can get. Coopting a famous dead guy, who can't object, to be a character in your story is tediously overdone and offers nothing new; then most authors don't.
