He's got one about Poe, too, now that I think about it. And Kierkegaard (Mr. Churchyard). Don't remember the names. Probably others.

The Poe story is 1830 in Tatlin! (based on a lie Poe told that he had visited Russia), the Kierkegaard story is Mr. Churchyard and the Troll in A Table of Green Fields
