I've just stumbled upon your blog and have spent some pleasurable moments reading through your posts. I'm a Poe enthusiast and a lover of the Gothic tale. I was quite surprised to find that we are fellow Takoma Parkers(Takoma Parkians? TPers? ugh, no, on the last one).
Looking forward to reading through the site as well as to your future posts.
Best,
Lori
