I just finished this book about the weird circumstances of #EdgarAllenPoe's death.

But the atrocious amount of tuberculosis in this time period--my god. His mother died in her early 20s. His wife died at age 24.

Today's disease-mongers just baffle me. These were not good-old-days before big ag and big pharma.

The cover of the audiobook in the Libby app: A Mystery of Mysteries. The death and life of Edgar Allan Poe by Mark Dawidziak. It has an uneven font, the silhouette of a raven, but within the raven outline looks like Poe walking in a black cape in a black and white photo, as if you were looking down from the second floor of a building. It says the book app is at The End after 10:37:33 and 100% read.

In my circles there's a lot of talk about all the resources (which include a ton of erotica and porn) that are vanishing or have already vanished from the open web as pornocalypse and the general decline of independent websites take their toll.

This 404 message spotted on a blog (now defunct of course) back in '08 is apropos:

Screenshot of an ErosBlog text-only post about a funny 404 message that reads "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I porn surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious screenful of “Hot Nudes Galore”, When I clicked my fav’rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour – “‘Tis not possible!’, I muttered, “Give me back my free hardcore!” Quoth the server: 404."

I have these short windows when my brain is open to new music, and seeks it out.

I'm in one of those right now so trying to throw as much new music at my ears as I can while it lasts.

I've been getting into Bluegrass and as always happens, I'm drawn to the strange, creepy ones.

Going to share a few with you all.

Having watched The Black Cat this weekend, I decided I wanted to read the #movie's inspiration, #EdgarAllenPoe's story of the same name.

It's a gruesome tale that bears no resemblance to the film, other than both having a black cat. They're both creepy in their own way.

The film that actually comes closer is one part of #Corman's Tales of Terror. Fortunately, it, too, isn't as gruesome as the original story, plus we get the classic contest between Vinnie & Peter Lorre. youtu.be/yoYmkjmplig?feature=s

Ashes and Dust

"Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - this it is and nothing more...

Then this brown dog beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, by the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, 'Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'

Quoth the good boy 'Nevermore.'"

A large brown dog sits outside, looking in through a large window in a door.

Today in Writing History January 29, 1845: The Evening Mirror, in New York, published “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe. It was Poe’s first publication and it made him an overnight sensation. Yet, he spent much of his life in poverty. He originally considered having an owl or parrot, rather than a raven, quote “Nevermore.”
