Born in 1809, he is responsible for the great works such as "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Bells," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Masque of the Red Death."
I had the opportunity to visit Poe's grave, and the cemetery where he is buried in Baltimore, MD in 2011. Easily one of the cooler sites I have visted. The legend and lore of it all helps up the "coolness" factor.
Perhaps the "Poe Toaster" will have made a "re-appearance" this year, as he has not been seen since 2009. I can't wait to see if he does. For 60 years he would sneak into the graveyard in the early hours and leave 3 roses, and a partial bottle of congnac. He would then disappear into the night, his identity known to no one.
Here's some pics I took.
