🐦‍⬛ Quoth the Raven, 'Read Some More'

When I first stumbled upon the museum website for Edgar Allan Poe some time back, I really wasn't expecting much but the more I looked around, the more I was amazed. I have yet to visit & have only bookmarked these resources, but I find satisfaction in empowering others with free information.


Below are lists of Poe's complete collection of short stories & poems! Click on the Poe's Complete Works link & it will take you to the museum site, where you will find links for all them. No download or sign up required. Read them directly in your browser, for as long as you want.


If you're ever in Richmond, Virginia you might consider a visit to The Poe MuseumGo for the literature, enjoy the history, & linger to get a picture with the Poe Museum cats. They even have their own Instagram!  @poemuseumcats


If not, no worries, there's plenty to see & read on their website, including an online store with reasonably priced items. Gifting someone a feather quill pen set, wax seal kit, or Smell of Fear candle will likely get you invited to some cool parties! Enjoy!


I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.” 🐈🐈‍⬛
