“Why do you doubt your senses?”
“Because,” said Scrooge, “a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!” —A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

My hand slipped and I made a timeline of the real lives of all the Poe Party attendees. Just, y'know. For fun.
Interesting notes (spoilers ahoy):
- The timeline is SO close to being exactly 200 years: Jane Austen was born December 16 1775, and Agatha Christie died January 12 1976.
- The closest two in both life and death dates were Emily Dickinson and Louisa May Alcott: they both lived to the age of 55, and their lives were only offset by two years.
- Neither of the two most long-lived attendees, H.G. Wells (died at 79) and Agatha Christie (died at 86), survived the evening.
- Hemingway was the last to be born, but Christie was the last to die.
- Christie outlived everyone, both in terms of age and death date, but she had the least screen time.
- Austen was the first born, and in the show she was the first to die.
- Charlotte Bronte was the shortest lived at just 38, followed by Poe (40) and Austen (41).
- Fun fact: Mary Shelley is definitely haunted, she kept moving around and loading incorrectly for no reason and I ended up having to retake the screenshot three times.
I put this together out of curiosity, because my roommate and I were musing about the disparate lifetimes of the authors, and figured I might as well share it. If you feel like this is Anne Bronte and Ralph Waldo Emerson erasure, you can make your own!
