In 2003, we added two Gothic photo studies to Madeline's Tomb: Ghost Towns & Prisons and continued to expand Cemeteries.
Additionally, we added three more sections to Poe's Poetry Corner : "Classical Poetry" includes a selection of poetry by John Wilmot, the Second Earl of Rochester (1647-1680)- a notorious libertine and free-thinker. "Modern Poetry" includes a selection of poetry by Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) - eccentric poet and seeker "Ancient Poetry" includes a selection of poetry by Propertius (50-16 B.C.E.) - the romantic Roman poet.
We added a "Scream Queens" section to Madeline's Tomb. Additionally, we added a "Future Dead Girls" section which includes: "Missing Persons" & a "Dead Pool."
Muddy's Kitchen has become part of Montresor's Library. Poe Veranda, Virginia's Womb, Griswold's Pulpit, and Pluto's Menagerie are all now included in the Poe Influence section.
Later in the year, we added Sappho to Ancient Poetry, Lady Mary Worth to Classical Poetry, Edna St. Vincent Millay to Modern Poetry, as well as Kathy Acker and Kimberly Nichols to Contemporary Poetry.

(Literary Criticism in Perspective)
by Scott Peeples
Hardcover - Nov 28, 2003
by Jonathon Scott Fuqua and Stephen John Phillips
Paperback - Aug 1, 2003
Book Description:
Edgar Allan Poe was driven by demons.
A poet and a storyteller, he was haunted by dark moods and darker thoughts, resulting in disturbing stories of high complexity, supernatural terror and exquisite mental turmoil.
But were the demons that drove him real?
That possibility is explored in the 96-page VERTIGO hardcover IN THE SHADOW OF EDGAR ALLAN POE — written by award-winning novelist Jonathan Scott Fuqua (The Reappearance of Sam Webber) and featuring photographic art by Stephen John Phillips (VEILS, I, PAPARAZZI) & Steve Parke (I, PAPARAZZI).
When a lost diary purported to be written by Poe falls into the hands of Sterling Tuttle, the Poe scholar uncovers a side of the writer that few people ever suspected. In the diary, the voice of the long-dead author reaches out from beyond the grave to give a chilling account of his tortured life. Haunted by the ghosts of his tragic past and the burden of relentless alcoholism, Poe soon finds that his creativity may depend on actual demons who have an unsavory agenda of their own…
Based on some of Poe’s published works, IN THE SHADOW combines actual events in the writer’s life with Fuqua and Parke’s speculation on the nature of his muse, creating a mysterious drama wherein tragedy and fate intersect. With chilling photographs that invoke the fear that Poe wrestled with, Park & Phillips break the traditional boundaries of framed panels and create a graphic novel that explodes with original, unforgettable visuals.
