Come with me to visit all four Edgar Allan Poe house museums on the Eastern Seaboard in Richmond, Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York City, New York. Along the way we'll learn about Poe and his writing with help from Sharon Pajka, the author of The Souls Close to Edgar Allan Poe.

They are not dead—and neither are their stories. Their memory offers a mirror—and a map—for the living. With every grave I study, I toast those who came before us. As a literature professor and cemetery historian, my work combines my love of words and the stories of those from the past. Welcome! -Sharon Pajka
