I would want a memoir from EA Poe after he was dead. I want to know exactly what happened to him on the last day of his life. Why was he disheveled and wearing clothes that didn't fit him? Did he have rabies? Was the famous author killed from a beating? From carbon monoxide poisoning? From alcohol withdrawal? Cooping? Brain tumor? Flu? Murder? #theafterlifememoir 😀

I found the most amazing Poe Collected Work printed in 1927 for $20😲

On this day Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19, 1809 in Boston, MA?? Did you know the following facts about Poe? -Poe excelled academically at university despite his attendance and gambling problems. -Many scholars call him the "architect" of the modern short story. -Poe wrote not only horror stories, but also short stories resembling detective stories and science fiction.

Hello, #LitsyFamily 🤗🤗🤗!!! After a very busy day of work at the library, @BookBabe and I are at #GreyTowers for an #EdgarAllanPoe Reading 😱😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Can't wait! 90 minutes of Poe-ish enjoyment.

Have you attended this kind of reading before?

Oh, and the portrait on the right is painted by a dear friend of ours who is sitting just to the left of this picture. She owns the Poe Gallery I posted about a ways back.

When I think of black I think of this man. He is my literary Paint It Black!

🗂 Chaos! Over 1000 with small & insufficient shelves. Stacks all over. I have a few piles for: ARCs/Giveaways won, middle grade, and mass market paperback. I guess newer in is closer to the top.
📖 Collection of Edgar Allan Poe works. Romance, Poetry, Suspence, Horror... he's got it all.
👃 Sometimes at home, mostly when buying used.
📚 Yes, but usually for cute covers & used.

Our literary adventure continues with a visit to one of the homes Poe lived in during his six years in Philly. This mural was right across the street.

A Poe coloring book and a board book titled “My Mom is Magical.” Mother‘s Day gifts from my daughter!! My heart melted! ❤️💕❤️.

I literally cant stand how amazing these are!!! I want them all! I tried to restrain myself but i ended up buying Dracula and the Edgar Allan Poe Collection! *side note* They were $9.98 in store and they are available online but they were way more expensive!

Day 2, of my 7 days of Poe stuff... ? I bought this through a Kickstarter project (https://goo.gl/sRf1Nb) a few years ago. The illustrations are by David G. Forés. I forgot what package this was but it included the LP and several other things. There are so many Kickstarter projects, some Poe related, but I try to stick to my favorites. It‘s worth keeping a close eye on their site, just in case something special turns up. ?

I have spent this afternoon dipping in and out of stories and poems by Mr Poe. One of my all time favourite poems is Annabel Lee! Matthew Gray Gubler does a wonderful reading of it that I found on you tube 😍 I plan to work my way through this collection in the next year! Does anyone else have a favourite work by Poe?! #Poe #AnnabelLee #poetry

I couldn't resist this little cutie while I was out shopping today. I feel like I can use this to make some "light reading" jokes.

This is the cutest thing I've ever bought

In honor of #nationalbookloversday, the Providence Athenaeum, where in 1848, Edgar Allan Poe's fiancée, poet Sarah Helen Whitman, broke up with him 2 days before their Christmas wedding due to his alcoholism (he proposed in a cemetery, so the relationship was perhaps ill-fated from the start). The Athenaeum remains an independent members library and is a must visit for book lovers if you find yourself in Providence!
