io9 — ... But Poe's also inspiring some actual new literary contributions. Veteran editor Ellen Datlow just published a new anthology of Poe-inspired stories called simply Poe. They're not pastiches or parodies, but rather stories inspired by the master. They include Gregory Frost's "The Final Act," a murder/ghost story about a man dogged by his childhood friend.

When Gravity Fails — As if you didn't already know, today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe. Not only did the Guardian give Ellen Datlow's anthology, simply titled Poe, a glowing review but they also have a Poe quiz and a blog posting about Poe's lasting influence. And, if you've already consumed the great man's entire output, then I can thoroughly recommend The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl. I'm not usually a big fan of mysteries, particularly those of an historical bent, but this one had me gripped right until the very end.
