Nope. Nary a typo in sight.
It's the title of a book due out in August. Part of the description reads:
His dead wife is haunting him in his dreams, his latest book has bombed, and the imagination that fueled his stories has become a curse. His prayer to never dream again is answered one evening as he falls asleep in an outhouse. His discarded creativity takes the form of his dream child, Edgar Allan Poo, who must now undergo a strange odyssey through the poet's troubled mind.
I know I'm curious.
More at Newsarama.

It does. The title is a bit much for me, but the cover is fantastic.

Thank you for posting this! I sincerely hope you'll give it a chance.
As far as the title, I chose "Poo" because it's fun and my kids loved it. I told them the title and they wanted to read it. Being that this is an all-ages book, I wanted something that would grab young readers' attention. As demonstrated by the reaction of my children, their classmates and my nieces and nephews, it is quite effective. And if it introduces them to the brilliant works of Poe--what could possibly be better than that?
Thanks again,

Way cool, Dwight -- it makes MUCH more sense now that I know it's an all ages title. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Thank you very much, Leila! I'm glad I could clear that up. I sincerely hope you enjoy the book!
