		<description><![CDATA[For the third year in a row, Edgar Allan Poe&#8217;s biggest fan has failed to materialize at his grave in Baltimore: &#8220;When he appears, the Toaster is typically shrouded in a long coat, his head covered with some kind of hat and a scarf that drapes across his face, the spotters say. He strides quickly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the Borders Books on High Ridge Road announced its doors were closing a few months ago, I witnessed a mad rush of customers eager to scoop up the last of the ailing store&#8217;s goods. Interminably long lines snaked through the store, through the rifled, half-empty shelves stamped with bright orange 70% off stickers. People [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia Edgar Allan Poe &#8211; spinner of spine-tinglers and tales of hearts that won&#8217;t stay still &#8211; immediately springs to mind when Halloween approaches. Few other horror stories in literature have quite the bone-chilling, heart-stopping quality of Poe&#8217;s, peopled with devious killers and strange, haunting manifestations of guilt.
