Edgar Allan Poe Round-Up


There's been a flurry of Edgar Allan Poe-related activity of late. Let's get to it!

In the Spectator is a review of Peter Ackroyd's latest book Poe: A Life Cut Short.

In movie news, Sylvester Stallone is going to write and direct a biopic of Poe. Yo, seriously. Rumors are flying as to who will be the actor to play the great writer.

Also, The Poe Toaster made their annual visit to Poe's grave recently, leaving three roses and a bottle of cognac.

There's also a new blog, The Bibliothecary highlighting one man's adventures in the world of Poe.

And how cool is this? The delightful Vincent Price reciting Poe's "The Raven"....
