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?

Edgar Ray Killen was indicted for manslaughter on June 21, 2005 for the KKK murders of the three Civil Rights workers in Neshoba County, Mississippi on June 23, 1964, which gave us the terror of Mississippi Burning, from the same name as the FBI files. Neshoba County, and newly appointed Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, had prepared for this court case in one form or another for over 40 years, ever since Edgar Ray's acquittal for the murders in a rigged court in Meridian in 1967. Edgar Ray Killen was found guilty and sentenced for the rest of his life to be served in the Mississippi Correctional System. He was convicted despite there being no living witness who could corroborate the allegations or by any direct evidence against him. The state had determined the outcome long before the first court date according to Killen. He appealed the conviction immediately and had kept high hopes that seen from a higher court and having friends in high places he would get a new trial. Once convicted Edgar's appeal began and with it a new burning desire to tell his side of the story, even if he had to finally tell it from behind bars. His desire and manipulations finally led to Larry Ellis - a self-described author and artist who had been imprisoned half his life from the age of twenty-five. Larry landed in jail with a prescription drug addiction developed in the hospital after a car accident, and one that would in many ways systematically destroy his life. The two only had a couple of things in common, being white men in a Mississippi prison and being so-called "God fearing." This is the story of their conversations which took place for 30 days in Rankin County's Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. Edgar had arranged for Larry to be transferred from within the prison next to his cell so they could write a book, his book - Edgar Ray Killen's manifesto to the world - the true story of the KKK and the summer of Mississippi Burning. From the beginning, the relationship between Larry and Edgar was contentious yet both felt it was fated and began to work on the book in earnest. Larry being a self-taught artist and as a way to cope with prison did many drawings to illustrate the conversation, condition and the demeanor of Edgar Ray Killen and the environment of every day prison life. All of this activity was illegal in the prison system and all material was contraband. Larry was taking a big risk on many fronts to write this book and the threats kept coming throughout the process - as he describes in detail. Edgar told many tales in jail including his own complicity in murders and he threatened Larry if he went public because he realized that his appeal was exhausted and many of his confessions are actually hand written, as this was how the communication is in the confines of a prison - notes passed between convicts. The FBI fully vetted and authenticated the handwriting of Edgar Ray Killen when they took all the papers from Larry's home for investigation. Larry passed December 2014 of cancer and he left the book to Mr Robert J. Ray to have it published. Edgar Ray Killen passed in January 2018. This is the book that many in Mississippi and Washington wanted to keep buried.
Maurice Marie Emile Leblanc (11 November 1864 - 6 November 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Ars ne Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes Biography: Leblanc was born in Rouen, Normandy, where he was educated at Lyc e Pierre-Corneille. After studying in several countries and dropping out of law school, he settled in Paris and began to write fiction, both short crime stories and longer novels. The latter, heavily influenced by writers like Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant, were critically admired but had little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals until the first Ars ne Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories that was serialized in the magazine Je sais tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of and in reaction to the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write 21 Lupin novels or collections of short stories. The character of Lupin might have been based by Leblanc on French anarchist Marius Jacob, whose trial made headlines in March 1905. It is also possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 jours d'un neurasth nique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau, and he had seen Mirbeau's comedy Scrupules (1902), whose main character is a gentleman thief. It was not influenced by E. W. Hornung's gentleman thief, A.J. Raffles, created in 1899, whom Leblanc had not read.By 1907, Leblanc had graduated to writing full-length Lupin novels, and the reviews and sales were so good that Leblanc effectively dedicated the rest of his career to working on the Lupin stories...
