This was my inaugural foray into the STEAMPUNK genre, and I'll admit that I found it quite interesting.With numerous nods to E.A. Poe's classic works throughout this work, Mr. Erickson has greatest a fun tale of murder, deception, intrigue and romance.Poe, the character, is accompanied by his nemesis from THE RAVEN in the form form of Tap who acts as Poe's anachronistic sense of reason, and criticism...and frequent deus ex machina.Working diligently to clear his name from several murders that have mirrored his works, Poe is forced to call in to doubt virtually everyone around him...the police, work associates, his doctor, friends and yes, himself and his sanity.Steampunk, who knew it would tickle my science-fiction fancy. This page turner was the perfect introduction to the genre for me.As the tale cones to a conclusion, the door is open for a sequel, which interestingly enough is now available...the tale continues!
