The first three of these are already posted as part of ===[**CDM**]===, but I thought they and the additional related clues might also amuse some of you who may not frequent that particular thread. catrub

1. Writer glad aeroplane crashed (5,5,3) - Edgar Allan Poe

2. New party starts to hunt aggressively (5) - raven

3. Navy constantly increasing as 1's 2 said (9) - nevermore

4. Regret finding gourmet mostly mutilated in scene of 1's 5 (3,6) - Rue Morgue

5. Kills returning sister with electronic instrument (7) - murders

6. 1's 7 Ted heard is horrible (3,5) - Red Death

7. What's central to surrealism as questionable court entertainment in Tudor times (6) - masque

8. Took finely mashed cut of meat for energy (9) - purloined

9. Landlord 8 from 1 (6) - letter

...and one extra unrelated clue to make a round number and lower the tone:

10. A degree of role reversal by composer: nothing should precede wind section intro (8,2,4) - Bachelor of Arts

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
