A toast to the Poe Toaster

The Poe Toaster is a wild tale of romance and gun slinging in the early 19th century written by Virginia Plassambalm. So popular was the story, which was sold in B Dalton and Booksamillion until they both went out of business, that a variety of impostors arose and tried to claim the title of The Poe Toaster. There can be only one. The Poe Toaster shows himself once every year at the grave of Virginia Plassambalm, the author of The Poe Toaster, and he leaves behind a bottle of her favorite beverage, water. Then he, or she, I should say, makes a toast, then they eat the toast. That is the myth of the Poe Toaster. Even to this very day, their identity remains a mystery except for the fact that it is really Virginia Plassambalm disguised as a character from her very own novel toasting herself at her own fake gravestone. But these are just details. Everyone knows that Virginia died years ago although a body was never recovered.
