Famed writer Edgar Allan Poe wrote 70 poems and 66 short stories during his 40 years on this planet but published only one full-length novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, written in 1838 in which a whaling ship sinks, one of the survivors is named Richard Parker and is eaten by the other survivors. 46 years after it was published, a yacht sank in real life and 3 of the 4 survivors also decided to eat the cabin boy named...Richard Parker. | Rob Gavagan
