Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7, 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. He was 40 years of age. A monument now marks his burial site, but at the time of his death he was buried in a grave marked only with a numbered stone. His remains were moved to their current location in 1875 and a marker was placed in the original location.
I love the artwork of Francesco Francavilla, but I'm particularly taken with his imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe. Just Gorgeous. Check out his Official Website to see more of his stunning art.

The Raven, a Victorian thriller starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe will open in theaters April 27, 2012. I love the time period. I love the subject matter. I even like John Cusack...but as Edgar Allan Poe!? This sounds like a terrible idea and judging from the trailer I just watched it will be an even worse film. A film about Edgar Allan Poe should be dark, creepy, and macabre. It should not be a blockbuster action thriller.
Watch the trailer below:
