    		"The Jingle Man" is correct.

    And yes it was Emerson not Thoreau, I got the two confused.

    		Not the phone, or email. Probably just his voice then.

    Master of the macabre, Edgar Allen Poe, has just been on the phone. (I know he's dead, but masters of the macabre can do these sort of things.) He is starting up a library, and he wants me to look out for a few books. The books he wants are "The Dance of Death," "Narrative of the Life of James Allen, alias Jonas Pierce, alias James H. York, alias Burley Grove, the Highwayman, Being His Death-bed Confession to the Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison" and "A True and Perfect Relation of the Whole Proceedings Against the Late Most Barbarous Traitors, Garnet A. Jesuit and His Confederates." Why would he want these books?
