'Edgar Allan Poe' / Matthew Childers[/caption] Today is 204th Birthday of Edgar Allan Poe!
I love this illustration by Matthew Childers. It was commisioned for the Barter Theatre's production of the one-man show, 'Journey Through The Mind... Edgar Allan Poe.'

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:

I LOVE this portrait by illustrator Francesco Francavilla. Check out his blog, Pulp Sunday.
