Jack-o-lantern 11
Crafter of one of the most popular classics,
this Irishmanâs tale is a standout in Gothics.
But pay no mind to the bloodsucker at hand,
for the clue you have here is more carefully planned.
Abraham is the authorâs real firstborn name,
though his other moniker is what came to fame.
And after his death in April of 1912,
an auction took place: one for all of his shelves.
Fast forward, now, over 100 years,
to a little website full of book lovers and peers.
We donât even care if youâre alive or if youâre dead:
if you were bookish and famous, weâll find what youâve read.
So, now, my dear readers, youâve surely found your mark,
unless youâve been reading this all in the dark.
Carry on, friends, but do so sensibly:
for herein lies the path to Legacy. (Kristi)
