Poe Must Die by Marc Olden *RARE* UK Import 1st Futura Print 1989 Thriller

In Victorian London, the black magician Jonathan seeks out the Throne of Solomon, which will grant him immortality, and dominion over Lucifer, Asmodeus and all the demons of the upper air:
His search leads him to New York, a city of slums and death. Pursuing him is Pierce James Figg, an ex-bareknuckle fighter, whose wife Jonathan has slain; Figg has a letter of introduction from Charles Dickens to Edgar Allan Poe, the brilliant, tortured genius whose intellect and bitter wit outrun his common sense. Together, the boxer and the writer begin a perilous mission to find and destroy Jonathan before he can discover his heart's desire and change the destiny of the world.
Marc Olden has written a dark gem of terror, a tale of which Dickens or Poe themselves would have been proud.
