Well worth seeing and essential if you've ever had any interest in Poe his life and his works, I'm going to a reading they're having of 'The Tell Tale Heart' at Harry Ransom on the night of Oct 15.

HarryRansomeCenter: FINALLY! What looks to be an admirable exhibition of this genius of a man so troubled by his own demons & sadness - yet such a prolific writer of mysteries & those considered the underbelly of life & the sinister! He's been my fave author since my highschool days! Am lucky to have his "Complete Works"! This is long overdo - and, Thank you! Only wish I could be there in Baltimore tomorrow for his proper funeral.
