"The Cask Of Amonatillo"

Robert,

Actually, "Annabel Lee" is a poem, rather than a story, written by Poe as late as the spring of 1849 around May and certainly sometime prior to Poe's plans to return to New York from Richmond, Virginia to fetch his Aunt Maria Clemm for his scheduled wedding on October 17, 1849. the poem was published two days after his death in Baltimore on October 7, 1849.

The story "The Cask of Amontillado" was written sometime prior to November 1846 when it was first published in Godey's Ladies Book. As best I can tell, the last story written by Poe, assuming its publication is an indicator at all, was "Landor's Cottage", a companion piece to Poe's earlier "The Domain of Arnheim". "Landor's Cottage" was published in the Flag of Our Union on June 9, 1849.

Regards,

Actually he had a fragment some title "The Lighthouse" which was the bare beginnings of another ominous tale of decay. Interestingly it revisits the territory of the Descent into the Maelstrom and suggests a researched knowledge of Norway in the 18th Century. The young man isolated in the lighthouse for some voluntary refuge discovers that the foundation is chalk(as at Montauk)and that huge storms had been known to occur there. It has a Ms. Found in a Bottle feel of a romantic, doomed narrator.(For the text go to the Edgar Allen Poe Society of Baltimore)
