POE-2397 is the thrilling new novel by Steven K. Mitchell. From the publisher's web site:
POE-2397 is a work of rare diversity, eclectic within the confines of itself, thereby gaining a richness seldom equalled in literature. The 60,000 word novel is part science-fiction, part poetry, part literary fiction, part philosophy, part mystery, part action-thriller, part horror and probably more.
POE-2397 details the return of Poe himself, the great Edgar Allan born again in the year 2397. This is accomplished through a nifty bit of futuring involving known scientific fact regarding the physical root of human consciousness. A gorgeous young scientist is involved, as is "the most evil man of the twentieth century", Adolph Hitler.
Needless to say the action is fast-paced and fascinating. Mitchell's strong background as a Poet is evident and his words seem at times to burn into our minds in chunks of rhyme.
The novel is available at Steven's web site, Electifolio. The first 50 copies sold will sell for $1,000 each.
