The Final Breath - the last days of Edgar Allan Poe

Writing under the Nom de Plume 'Corvin Belkor', I recently published 'The Final Breath' as an epub.

In an imagining of the final days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, a letter arrives bearing a name long believed dead. Drawn back to Baltimore, Poe is ushered into a secret society that believes breath is older than language, and that writing can give form to what should remain silent.

Asked not merely to write about a man, but to write him into being, Poe becomes the centre of a ritual where ink responds to resonance and words begin to breathe. As attempts to summon the past grow increasingly violent, Poe is forced to confront the true nature of authorship, identity, and creation itself.

The Final Breath reimagines Poe’s last journey as a descent into a world where literature is not expression but invocation, and where finishing a story may cost more than silence ever could. A dark, lyrical exploration of obsession, creation, and the dangerous power of language, this is a short Gothic tale of possession without superstition, and horror without escape.
