Oh, Poe me


Received this email attachment from a friend - my question is, did all the misfortunes befall those listed because there is a semi-obscured spectral Edgar Allan Poe in the background?

Compare!:








Or maybe John Phillips?:





This is also probably as good a time as any to reveal that I'M the "mysterious" cloaked guy who puts the half-bottle of brandy and a rose on Mr. Poe's grave every year on the night of his death. Thinking about starting to take some onion salt and sugary tea to Madeline L'engle's cairn next year instead; or maybe popping over to Frank Herbert's. This whole Poe thing is getting a mite too touristy. Dumb goth kids, etc.
