Between the Rue Morgue and Wonderland lies a deadly riddle...
In an alternate 1851, Edgar Allan Poe has finally overcome his demons. Married to his childhood sweetheart Elmira and with a successful writing career, he's now touring England with his popular lecture series. But Poe's notoriously bad luck returns with a vengeance in Oxford, leaving him implicated in the gory murder of a chambermaid.
