I'm a big Poe fan, and I'm always on the lookout for stories that pay homage to him.  Although the story ended up being far from what I expected, it proved to be an exceptional read.  The author's style reminded me of a mesh between Poe and Harper Lee, with perhaps a hint of Carson McCullers, and the story itself was well paced and contained some unexpected twists.  The Poe family dynamics were disturbing to say the least, but it worked.  I love the theme of literary interpretation taken to an insane extreme, as well as the parallels between some of the characters and those found in a few of Poe's works.  All together, it makes for a coming-of-age story that is as unique as it is twisted.
