Okay, so this movie isn't based on a book, but it does feature a fictionalized version of Edgar Allan Poe:

Supporting Edgar
According the Times, the Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore has lost two years' worth of city funding and may now have to close—as a museum, anyway. (It's a designated landmark, so it can't be torn down.) If this is something you'd like to help avert, Baltimore artist Gaia has designed this very cool limited-edition raven print, which is being sold to benefit the house.

Smelling like Charles Dickens
Artisan candlemaker Paddywax has released a line of author-inspired candles. At $25 per 9oz. glass container, you can now scent your home with candles named after Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Charles Dickens. I'm assuming the scents aren't inspired by the authors themselves (something tells me that ol' Edgar A. Poe didn't always smell like a delicate blend of cardamom, absinthe, and sandalwood), but rather by the themes of their work.Labels: Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Home Decor, Jane Austen, Shopping

Edgar Allan Poe fights (or possibly commits) crime
John Cusack has apparently signed on to play Edgar Allan Poe in a (fictionalized) account of the poet's last few days of life. The description of the film on Cinematical mentions something about a serial killer who's murdering people using the methods described in Poe's books, so I'm assuming these filmmakers don't subscribe to my favorite rumor about Poe's death: that he was press-ganged into a repeat-voting scam. Note: Hey, I would totally watch a movie about mid-19th century voting scams. I think it would make for edge-of-your-seat viewing.
Note #2: Adorable as Cusack is, I have my doubts about his ability to carry off that hairstyle.
