"Anyone that is a fan of Edgar Allan Poe will thoroughly enjoy this read. I enjoyed the story as it was woven factually, fictitiously, and historically from before Poe's birth to his death. Mr. Jones captured all the critical milestones in Poe's literary career and included some of his most important pieces. One of the best books I have read in a while!" - Reviewer
"This book is really an interesting read. Some liberties were taken with dates, but it fluffs out his 40 years to much more than "The Raven." - Reviewer
"A Really good Read! The author wrote the story as if he were there. I realized that EAP was born in the 18th C and was a contemporary to the greatest classical authors and musicians. I appreciated the author inviting the reader in daily activities, shopping, and purchasing those goods considered expensive. While EAP was writing poems and stories that frightened the very core, the US was decimating the West. Slavery was institutionalized, and the Indigenios Nations lost their ancestral lands and the lives of the future generations. This is an artful and empathetic story of a hounded child & troubled man. EAP's reliance on his wife and MIL was heartfelt, and nothing could be done to relieve EAP's grief. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes history or biographies. I plan to read his other books about other American authors."
"My new favorite author! John Issac Jones' book, A Quiet Madness, takes you into the life of Edgar Allan Poe from birth to death. The extraordinary tale and the vivid details of writing keeps you continually captivated! You won't want to put this book down, and you'll lose sleep because the style of writing and the story itself makes you want to read continuously until the end. I'm looking forward to seeing more of John Isaac Jones' series of "Great American Authors Series".
"This is such a good book! It is a biographical novel, but it is written so well, you forget it is fiction. It makes the Poet Edgar A Poe come to life and causes us readers to understand him, in a way I never did before. It's such a touching book, especially the part where Poe creates his famous poem The Raven. Wow! I loved it and highly recommend the book especially for Poe fans. I look forward to reading more from John Isaac Jones!"
"Wonderful! This author does Poe a great service in being able to write his story. It is a beautifully written, biographical novel of this famous poet and author...Ive always been fascinated by Poe and in visiting the Poe Museum in Richmond,Va. I've been waiting to find a interesting book on his life..this one is it..it's fascinating and clever. This author brought to light many new things about Edger Allen Poe ."
