Paddy Poe Library Candle... Discontinued!

 Well, I went to the Paddywax website, to the "Library" section of their online inventory... and saw only Charlotte Bronte (ugh!), Jane Austen (snooze!), Charles Dickens (untouchable) and Fredrick Douglas (also untouchable... though his candle deserves more than a tiny tin!).

I then wrote them:

" Dear Paddywax,Did you do away with the Edgar Allan Poe Library candle?Or is it coming back?Please advise... I've written with that thing burning beside me for decades!Sincerely,EDH"

This is what they sent back:

"Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, this item has been discontinued; however, our development team is always reviewing or revisiting discontinued items. I will let them know you'd love to have this one back and they will review on their next development cycle. We apologize for this inconvenience! Have a great day! CS Sean from Paddywax" I am devastated!  My cousin (Amanda) got me my first Poe Paddywax candle for Christmas many, many years ago and I have since bought uncountable more. They are essential to my writing!  I love having them sit by my Qwerkywriter and occasionally smelling them when cranking out a new horror story/screenplay (I'd put "novel" on there, but I haven't written a horror novel in forever). Regardless, there are still options: the Quoth the Raven candle from Seawitch Botanicals (though not at all the same). There's an Etsy shop (man, I love that website) called TheMysticCrow that has a Poe candle that looks like it could fit the bill. And a whole bunch of other shops are selling candles, titled with some variation of "The Raven"... "Nevermore", etc. But all of them have fruity smells. Sorry, but there is nothing light, airy, whimsical or fruity about Poe's work. Poe's work (while intermittently romantic) is about the macabre, murder, madness and death (and everything that comes after it: mourning, depression, sorrow, longing, painful reminiscence).  But the one I found that most perfectly encapsulates the scents associated with Poe is probably this one.  ... The things I go through in order to get olfactory inspiration.
