The Legend and Legacy of a Window: Edgar's Window is an extraordinary ghost story blended with a suspenseful murder mystery to form a great read. The E-book version of Edgar's Window received a five star rating and the paperback version is available now with added graphics and a newly designed cover. The legendary story begins in the year 1848. According to the rumors, Edgar Allan Poe spent three nights in a windowless room at Madam Clegbourne's boarding house at 72 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. Madam Clegbourne, a well known spiritualist in the village at the time claimed to her fellow believers that Mister Poe had drawn a window upon the wall of one of her rooms in charcoal and she had discovered that it was a portal to the spirit world. A year later, upon learning of Mister Poe's untimely death in a Baltimore hospital, Madam Clegbourne set up a candle lit shrine to the late poet and forbade anyone to enter the Poe room other than herself. Nine years later, in March of 1857, the Clegbourne Boarding House became the scene of a series of diabolical murders, ghostly visitations and strange disappearances that would disrupt the lives of the motley collection of boarders who had the misfortune to live at the house at the time of the haunting. Rose Devlin, the only female among the boarders, was a struggling actress who was put upon by the Madam's stepson, Donovan O'Mara. Was it the evil forces unleashed by the window or the passions of jealous anger and revenge that led to a desperate and dangerous game of cat and mouse among the various boarders?
