"Quoth The Raven"

This Book is an adaptation of Lou's Album of the same name(which is an adaptation of Lou's play POEtry). Overall it is a good read for the Reed fan or the Poe fan. In the book, Reed slightly adapts some of Poe's most memorable poems to reflect his feelings/experiances. Interesting stuff.
