I've read so many through the years it's hard to remember all of them. Some obvious ones are great, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Black Cat, and I really love Morella and Ligeia.

Hey Az, if Poe and Lovecraft are your favourite authors, then you must check out Algernon Blackwood, he was a huge influence on Lovecraft and predated his works buy a decade or so. His works a perfect mix of gothic horror and weird fiction. I'm sure you'll dig his work, The Willows and The Wendigo are particularly awesome tales.

Hey Coreheyu,
Almost everything you just said is incorrect, but I'll be sure to look into your fine locksmithing skills!

Now piss off with your spam.

Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is the only actual novel that Poe wrote isn't it?
I actually haven't read The Black Cat yet, suprisingly. That one's next on my list.

Of course. I have a leather-bound version of his collected works.

2nd only to Lovecraft.

As for the movie, Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Should be interesting!

So, I haven't quite read all of his works, but I've read most of his stories, and I love the guy.

Anyone else a fan? And if so, what are your favorite stories of his?

For me, it's The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, Cask of Almontillado, and The Pit and the Pendulum.
