Ya know, bizzare as this whole deal is, I can't think of any other writer who would be more appropriate for a mock-death and mock re-funeral than Edgar Allen Poe.

I think he'd get a kick out of seeing a room full of literary gothics playing funeral dress-up and crying at the altar.

It all has to be taken tongue-in-cheek after 160 years. :lol:
