    Ah Miss Worm! A brilliant reading of Edgar Allen Poe.
    I should have learned not to listen during breakfast. Lol!!!
    I went to graduate school in Baltimore in the late 70's.
    One day a year they had tours of the Edgar Allen Poe house. You would have loved visiting it. There were catacombs in the basement.
    Everyone must have been shorter in those days... for at 5'9" I clocked my forehead going down to the catacomb.
    Left a mark for a few days.
    Now someone leaves a glass of cognac and three roses at his gravesite. This started in 1949 and has continued on the eve of his birthday.

    This short-story has always fascinated me. It sounds so probable. Poe didn't stuff it with tales of the after-life or descriptions of heaven. Just some muffled plain pleas from a confused mesmerized soul.
    I always have the impression that the dead man spoke more than he actually did. Must be my curiosity demanding to know more from this in-between man.

      In case you’re interested, I have just been interviewed on Tonette’s blog:
      fourfoxesonehound.wordpress.com/2023/04/21/guest-writer-narrator-julia-valentine/
      where I talk about writing and my upcoming books. You can have a closer look at the book covers and plot blurbs on my website
      jmvalentine.co.uk which also includes an email sign-up.
