"With what this chart teaches
even may the fallen go —
through the macabre reaches
of Edgar Allan Poe"

In 2020, Brendan Lorber created this map of Night's Plutonian Shore, the Purloined Letter, the Kingdom by the Sea, and a bunch of places I had to look up.

@sufferforme One #imaginarymap idea I keep coming back to is what if the Florida Peninsula had fully sunk but a long string of barrier islands ran along the Atlantic Coast. A Greater Florida Keys running from Miami to an Okefenokee Bay, with coral reefs in the Floridian Lagoon. Tampa/Pinella Peninsula can also remain as an island. I'll make a mockup at some point.
