Poe?
I read somewhere that Bradbury wrote a short story with a stylized Edgar Allan Poe as a character. Does anyone know what the title of this fiction is?

Braling II
He's in "The Exiles", one of my favourites from "R Is For Rocket".
('though I know not what thou meanest by "stylized"...)

Perchance, Usher II from Martian Chronicles?

By the way "Braling II," what a great monicker to use? One of RB's great irony of ironies!!

Braling II
I almost said "Usher II" myself, but dear Edgar is only laudably mentioned in that story. He "stars" in "Exiles". There's also a later story in which the main character goes back in time to encourage his favourite authors, Poe among them. How I'd love to do that!
As to my soubriquet, it was going to be either that or Walter Gripp!
