For the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), I've chosen my tie that features the art of Edward Gorey (1925-2000). Gorey's macabre drawings became famous through the opening and closing credits on Masterpiece Theater (and later Masterpiece Mystery) on PBS. The dark similarities between Poe and Gorey have been recognized in several ways, as in "Drama After Dark" and the blog "Poe x Gorey."
