The Edgar Allan Poe Museum's online store is selling bricks from Poe's last standing house, which was demolished in Manhattan last year. Each brick costs about $70, and is individually numbered, features a brass plaque stating its history, and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the Executive Director of the Poe Foundation. Sale of the bricks benefits the Mystery Writers of America and the Poe Foundation, Inc. Sure, there are probably other things you could do with your hard-earned seventy bucks... but c'mon: coolest decoration for a Halloween party ever.
