According to Boston.com, plans to build a statue honoring Boston native and macabre master Edgar Allan Poe have received a boost from fellow writer and New England native, novelist Stephen King. The statue, a life-size bronze sculpture of Poe returning to Boston with a raven emerging from his trunk, and papers and a heart trailing behind him, is set to be built in Edgar Allan Square at the corner of Boylston and Charles streets.
