Did you know that Edgar Alan Poe married his cousin when she
was only thirteen?
He’s mostly associated with New York,
Philadelphia and Virginia,
which is a coincidence.
And Darkness and Decay
and the Red Death held illimitable Dominion over all.
Still my favourite bit of alliteration.

I knew that.
And Baltimore.
Mask of the Red Death is my favorite by him.
My parents hid mt Poe books from me for a while when i was a kid... said i spent too much time reading his stuff and needed to read something else. Silly silly.
I first read an anthology of his about thirty years ago, but yesterday I decided to read them again. As far as I recall, my favourite before was Murders in the Rue Morgue, but I'll probably change my mind after I've re-read them.
Only I know the coincidence of New York, Philadelphia and Virginia. Baltimore doesn't fit.
The new profile pic is nice, by the way.
