Edgar Allan Poe was the original Gloomy Gus right?  Writing horror stories alone, in a dilapidated mansion, with only the company of a red-eyed raven to keep him sane.  Most people probably believe his life was actually in black and white.  Turns out this is NOT the case!  He played flutes at parties, solved ciphers and puzzles for a magazine, was a ladies man, and even challenged a man to a duel.  I love these quirky personality features and luckily Mark Dawidziak has chronicled him in his latest book "Mysteries of Mysteries:  The Death and Life of Edgar Allan Poe".  Mark and I  will do our best to dispel the caricature of Poe as the patron saint of the goths and show his a more well-rounded personality.
