A 24-minute documentary film directed by Christine Stoddard & David Fuchs about Edgar Allan Poe's lesser-known life in and cultural impact upon the old and mysterious Richmond, Virginia.


"I am a Virginian--at least I call myself one, for I have resided all my life, until within the last few years, in Richmond." 

-Edgar Allan Poe in a letter


"It was in Richmond that Poe grew up, married, and first gained a national literary reputation. Many of the places in Richmond associated with Poe have been lost, but several still remain." 

-The Poe Museum (Richmond, Virginia)
