The same subject is also taken up in a computer game called Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy. Mark Saltzman at GameZebo describes it in part this way:
In the game, you're a famous mystery writer and with the help of a supernatural pocket watch, you're transported to Poe's haunting tales in order to find his murderer. You see, Poe's soul can't rest until his death is avenged and only you can help him. The game is full of macabre imagery pooled from Poe's works, and to crack the 160 year-old case you'll find objects, collect clues and talk with witnesses, such as his doctor or love interest, to try and deduce who the killer is.
The whole review can be read here, and here is a screenshot:
The picture accurately depicts Poe's grave at the Westminster burial ground in Baltimore.

I'd love to finally see a movie about Poe's death.
Is that video game in release?
