MY AMERICAN GOTHIC WEEKEND #1: You are invited to join me in a series of dispatches regarding my recent trek through Richmond VA, in which I encounter American visionaries of horror, both living...and DEAD. We begin w/ the latter at The Poe Museum. Follow me if you dare...

MY AMERICAN GOTHIC WEEKEND #2: "Now, let's not do anything premature..." At the book and merch shop in the Poe Museum, Richmond VA. (Photo by Gary Woolard).

THIS HOUSE HAS STOOD IN THIS SPOT IN RICHMOND VA since the late 1730s. Timeless itself, it is a fitting wing of The Poe Museum. From Holmes and every detective series, to Stephen King, to The Terminator, Poe started it. His vision is more up-to-date than ever.

MY AMERICAN GOTHIC WEEKEND #4: Poe seems to have writer's block, just staring at his laptop, so I thought I'd give him a little guidance... But you can't ever tell him anything. Typical writer.
