Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe | Edgar Allan Poe

It was very evident to me within the first few short stories that he was so creative. His stories were so well thought out and crafted beautifully. He also had a range. He didn‘t just write gothic horror stories and poems, he also wrote sea tales, a science fiction hoax, and detective stories.

Works of Edgar Allan Poe: Sixty-seven Tales, One Complete Novel and Thirty-one Poems | Edgar Allan Poe

For the #death prompt of #WickedWhispers, I have decided to share a copy of the letter my skeleton, Eliza R. Cage (R stands for Rib), sent to her boyfriend, Edgar, who resides in Colorado. She hadn't heard from him for quite awhile and was relieved to hear from him! 💀 ❤😁 (I apologize that the font is probably too small to read on a phone. I'll try adding the text to the comments section as well). @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

WildAlaskaBibliophile My Dearest Edgar,
It was with profound delight that I received thy missive after so long an absence. I had feared the most dire of fates—that thou hadst passed beyond the veil and were deader than dead. How my heart was eased to learn that thou wert merely left to languish upon some dusty shelf through the heat of summer's reign. As for myself, I found solace in the warm embrace of the sun, its beams a balm for these weary, timeworn bones of mine. 2mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile Indeed, after the bitter, cold, and shadowed months of winter, I reveled in the chance to drink deep of its golden light, so much-needed to restore my strength.
But now, dear Edgar, the season that is dearest to me descends—Fall, that most beguiling harbinger of death's beauty. How I am entranced by the withering leaves outside my window, their colors turning with such elegant decay. The fallen wood, now but a cradle for rot and the slow bloom of 2mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile mushrooms, the fungi weaving their intricate designs upon nature's fading flesh. Oh, how lovely is the sight of life as it ebbs! And soon approach my favored celebrations—Halloween and Día de los Muertos, when the veil between our world and the next grows thin. I have already whispered my desires to Stacy regarding my Halloween costume, and she, industrious as ever, has begun to gather the elements required to bring my vision to life. 2mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile Yet, I shall keep thee in suspense, for I long to surprise thee with what I shall become.
On the 26th of October, we shall host a gathering in honor of All Hallows‘ Eve, and though the cruel distance between us prevents thy physical presence, I shall feel thy spirit linger with us, surely. Perhaps I may even call upon thee through séance, that I might conjure thy shade to our company.
2mo

WildAlaskaBibliophile My beloved Edgar, my affection for thee knows no diminishment, and my longing to share in thy company grows ever greater as the days pass. I eagerly await thy next correspondence, trusting it shall come swiftly and with fondness.

Affectionately and eternally thine,
Eliza 2mo

This novel really drew me in! Lovely writing, slowly suspenseful, gothic undertones. I think I would read this one again at some point in the future.
