Adapting Poe is a collection of essays that explores the way Edgar Allan Poe has been adapted over the last hundred years in film, comic art, music, and literary criticism. A major theme that pervades the study concerns the more recent re-imaginings of Poe in terms of identity construction in a postmodern era.Adapting Poe is a collection of essays that explores the way Edgar Allan Poe has been adapted over the last hundred years in film, comic art, music, and literary criticism.

"Adapting Poe fills an important gap in the adaptation studies canon and offers a variety of suggestive topics for further research. This reviewer looks forward to finding out how Poe has been appropriated outside the United States for political purposes as a canonical author in American Literature. No one has looked at Poe on radio either in America or elsewhere or examined how he has been reinvented online on Facebook or Twitter. One hopes to find out more about these topics in the near future." - Journal of American Culture
