Nevermore is a 1994 historical mystery novel by American author William Hjortsberg. In the novel, Harry Houdini joins forces with Arthur Conan Doyle to solve a series of murders, which eerily re-enact the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
Publishers Weekly considered the novel "droll and captivating" with "stellar characters and (an) outlandish plot".[1] The Los Angeles Times noted Hjortsberg's "obvious delight in historical detail,;[2] similarly, the New York Times observed that Hjorstberg "was obviously out to have a good time" in writing the novel, concluding that as a result, readers would similarly enjoy it.[3]
