    This is all so well done. Could you help me with my Film the Tell Tale heart? I would love to see more and more of Poes work get out there.

      I'm not sure what help I could be, considering I have an audience you could count on the fingers of one hand. :)

    Very interesting. Didn't know they had that type of advertising back then.
    He would be avery odd insurance salesman that I would probably have to listen to especially if he spoke as well as he writes.
