You must be shiwani's friend before you can comment on this Fave.OMG! I love Poe. I think already told you about my pilgrimage to his UVA room. I also won the halloween apartment decoration contest in college with my mobile interpretation of The Raven.
LOL that's so awesome. I was very upset when NYU tore down the Edgar Allan Poe House in NYC to build a dorm or some crap like that. I bet it's haunted with a tell-tale heart...
i love that they are modern pictures and that there's still an appreciation for the macabre. poe is the best!
