Struck me as significant anyway; later today I'll be finding a quiet hour for The Devil in the Belfry and The Balloon Hoax.

are you sure its not a cataleptic attack, and he's not still in the coffin scrabbling away?

And there you are sharing his birthday, WLD - and a significant one at that. Hope you're having a good one anyway.

Perhaps I'll open that cask of Amontillado I've been saving.

A peel of BELLS would perhaps be appropriate!

Happy Birthday, wld!!

You, too, Edgar!

One of the best compliments I ever got about a short story was it could've been written by Poe; and they didn't mean that as a poor imitation.:-)

More messing with thread titles! One would hope WLD doesn't see himself on quite the same level as EAP, who, one would have thought, is deserving of a thread all of his own even though no one seems too fussed. Can we have it back to the way it was, please?
