THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE

"...the rather fantastic gloom of our common temper, a time-eated and grotesque mansion, long deserted through superstitions into which we did not inquire..."

"...we existed within ourselves alone..."

"...until warned by the clock of the advent of the true Darkness..."

On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents

EDGAR ALLAN POE, 1809 - 1849
