As a token to a fellow enthusiast of hot peppers, I wrote this verse in the spirit of EAP. I hope he would have approved.

 

The Gothic Chili

Through the dusty ages tales are told

Of mysteries that loom dark and cold.

But one spectre remains, fiery and bold.

 

In culinary tomes from 'Cisco to Philly

Mild-mannered morsels pale before the Gothic Chili.

Let the Genteel barter and simper with seasons tasty and quaint.

Partake of the fiery fruit, tears will flow and palettes faint.

 

In the throes of pain screams the scorched throat,

Gasping for the golden air to keep lungs afloat,

"Harken to my pleas for water enough to fill a moat!"

 

Yet the Gothic Chili stays remote and aloof,

As the internal fires leap to the roof.

But as the endorphins arise with searing pleasure,

You begin to smile darkly and say, "Double my measure!"

 

And thus begins the descent to the dark side,

A hunger for heat reaching far and wide,

The Gothic Chili beckons, salsa or deep fried.

Although the season of All Hallow's Eve is now long past, I decided not to crate away my ravens and other Poe-ish  items, but keep them out in full view to enjoy and be inspired by this country's greatest contributor to literature.

"Won't you sit, Sir?"

"Alas, I cannot."

"Perhaps have some tea?"

"It would be as water running through a sieve."

"A walk by the river, then?"

"To have you alone."

"I object to your manner sir."

"I'm Death, and you're done."

"Descent Into Madness" from the album "Shadow of The Raven" by Nox Arcana (www.NoxArcana.com). Delve into the haunted realms of Edgar Allan Poe, as Nox Arcana pays tribute to the classic tales of the literary master of the macabre with a lush musical tapestry of Victorian elegance and Gothic nightmares. This dark soundscape of ghostly melodies, mournful dirges, eerie sound effects and ominous orchestrations is accompanied by Joseph Vargo's lavish artwork depicting Poe's classic horror tales, and even offers fans a hidden "gold bug" riddle

Nevermore. ]

In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin), the film also stars Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster). When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper--part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.
