A project about Edgar Allan Poe? A picture book about everything spooky?
Well, that certainly calls for a research trip to Whitby!
I'm having so much fun with this project. I am loving the Autumnal colours and the atmosphere of October, of dressing in drapey, witchy clothes and of pretending Poe-is-me. I've always appreciated spookiness (insert pictures of my 9th birthday party/my 'pretty little dead girl' dress/my living dead dolls'), but since discovering Poe I just think I've found some resolution to all these weird obsessions I have, because Poe had them too and he made them into chilling, classic tales. I want to creep people out a little too, to make little kids who love that stuff to chuckle evily into this book (FINALLY A KID'S BOOK THAT'S AS WEIRD AS I AM.)
