Published: 13 October 2009 y., Tuesday

When American writer Edgar Allan Poe died in 1849, only seven people turned up to his funeral.

 

Now, 160 years later, the master of the macabre, has finally received a proper send off.

 

Hundreds of his fans dressed in period costumes joined a funeral procession in the town of Baltimore, where the writer lived.
