Poe Toaster a No-Show

The mysterious visitor who's been placing roses and a bottle of cognac on Edgar Allan Poe's grave was a no-show last night. The toaster usually appears on Poe's birthday between midnight and 6 a.m., and Poe House Curator Jeff Jerome told The Sun the ritual has been repeated annually since 1949. So why didn't the toaster visit this year? Is it related to last year's bicentennial of Poe's birth? The mystery deepens.
