Poe himself, like Dupin in “The Murders within the Rue Morgue,” is sensible and eccentric. He has his inside demons. 

“What’s additionally stunning about ‘The Younger Poe’ is that it’s instantly Poe himself who’s inventing step-by-step what we learn about detective work: Fingerprints, closing a scene when he picks up on a clue, or the post-mortem, as in a scene the place younger Poe is within the morgue and the corpses discuss to him through their physique language,” stated Tellem.
