He was four pages into an untitled story about a lighthouse keeper when he died that has since been dubbed 'The Light-House' -- his last incomplete work. Also, the poems 'Annabel Lee' and 'The Bells,' were not published until just after his death. The last short stories published before he died were 'Mellonta Tauta,' 'Hop-Frog,' Von Kempelen and His Discovery,' 'X-ing a Paragrab,' and 'Landor's Cottage.'

Poe turned to alcohol more frequently and was purportedly displaying increasingly erratic behavior. A year later he became engaged to his teenage sweetheart from Richmond, Elmira Royster. In 1849 he embarked on a tour of poetry readings and lecturing, hoping to raise funds so he could start his magazine The Stylus.

Poe's last poems were written and sold shortly before his death. His last written and published poem was The Bells in 1849. That same year he also wrote Annabel Lee, To My Mother, For Annie, Eldorado, and A Dream Within a Dream.

The Light-House in 1849 was Poe's last incomplete work, it was never finished before he died, but it was probably going to be a short story.
