  Edgar Allan Poe, born Edgar Poe, was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809 but orphaned at an early age.  
   
  Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy, Westpoint, where he failed to become an officer.   
   
  His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals till in January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  
   
  Thereafter followed the works for which he is so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore Maryland. 
   
  Poe was also an early proponent of the detective story and announced his entry to this genre with the classic short story ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue'.

Schubart’s collection of twenty-two stories captures Vermont in its transition from an enclave of hill farms and small towns where everyone knew your grandfather to a place where vehicles bearing license plates from “away” mix with hippie vans filled with born-again Vermonters getting back to the land…until snowfall.

   He didn’t know how or why--it just...happened one day. 
  Jason Cole was working on finding a suitable picture for some newsletter or something. One of ten or twenty specific photos he would find that day. Same old thing he’d done a hundred times before. Looking through stock photos, this time for a cooking ad.
