The Edgar Allan Poe Bust project, funded by Kickstarter campaign over the summer, culminates in the unveiling of the bronze work at the Boston Public Library on the evening before Halloween. For one of the spookiest writers of all time, this is the perfect time to unveil such an honor. With all of the notable authors that come from Massachusetts, it might be easy to forget that sinister Edgar Allan Poe was born right here in Boston. This bust by sculptor Bryan Moore will serve as a wonderful reminder to the city of Poe's local roots. Witnessing the historical statue unveiling is a great way to celebrate Halloween without all of the hassle of dressing up.
